A high ropes course is an elevated structure featuring a series of challenging elements designed to test participants’ courage, balance, and coordination.
Typically constructed between 20 to 50 feet (6 to 15 meters) above ground, these courses offer thrilling experiences for individuals and groups.
High ropes courses are ideal for:
If you are looking for an activity that is suitable for a much younger demographic, low ropes courses or net courses are a fantastic alternative.
When planning your high ropes course, make sure you consider the following:
Choose a location that is safe, accessible, and suitable for the course type. Factors include terrain, weather conditions, and proximity to other facilities.
Tailor the course to your target audience, objectives, and available space. Incorporate a mix of elements to cater to varying skill levels and goals.
Common high ropes course elements include bridges, balance beams & logs, cargo nets, ladders and jump challenges, with some featuring zip wires or free-fall sections at the end.
High ropes courses should comply with key safety standards and these vary by country. It’s essential that courses are inspected by certified play or challenge course inspectors, ideally during the design phase.
Look for durable materials, smart layout planning, and a provider that also supports staff training and operational safety protocols.
We work very closely with independent inspectors throughout the design and build process to ensure full compliance.
High ropes courses must be built with durability, safety, and environmental suitability in mind. Material selection impacts the lifespan and performance of the installation, maintenance needs, and guest safety.
Ropes courses should be built using weather-resistant, load-tested materials that are suited to your projects specific site conditions. Timber and steel supports, anti-slip platforms and UV-resistant safety components all need consideration.
