What is a High Ropes Course?

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:

  • Adventure Parks
  • Schools & Educational Institutions
  • Holiday Parks & Resorts
  • Stadiums & Arenas


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.

Design & Safety Considerations

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.

Greenspan advises clients on the most appropriate materials and construction techniques for their project.  We ensure each structure meets industry safety standards and every course is engineered for long-term use, minimal maintenance, and a first-class guest experience.

High-quality facilitator training is a crucial part of running any high ropes course safely and successfully. Confident, well-trained staff make a big difference, not just in creating a great experience for participants, but in managing safety and responding quickly when required.

At Greenspan, our facilitator training covers everything from using safety equipment properly to carrying out routine checks and understanding the specific risks of your course. The goal is simple: to give your team the knowledge and confidence to operate safely and deliver a fantastic experience from day one.
