Product Information

These obstacle kits are made for kids — as a result, they come in a wide variety of colours. Almost every kit available has multiple colours on all the obstacles and lines. Even the ratchets come in different colours. Obstacles Rope ladders with rungs: This is the kind of ladder you see on TV when they unroll a rope ladder from a helicopter for people to climb. The kids will have a blast with this one. T-Bar: This like a monkey bar but with one rope in the middle of the bar. Some of them turn on the rope and others don’t. Either way, it adds an extra degree of difficulty to the obstacle course.

Cargo nets work best when there is a rope holding down the bottom of the net and stretching it taut. Cone: These obstacles feature a simple cone with the narrow end facing up. Some people say it’s even harder to hold on to a cone than a ball. Nylon knots: These have a steel clip on one end and a nylon rope tied into a big knot on the other end. Attach the clip to the line and let the kids swing on the knot.Easy to install and take down means you can take your training with you! Just be sure you hang it between 2 posts or healthy trees. Climbing ropes: There are different configurations for climbing ropes. Some are even referred to as rope ladders, but there is only a single rope on them. They normally have a knot or stop of some kind on them for the kids to brace their feet on as they climb the rope. Put a second line under the first one so your kids will have something to stand on while they grab the obstacles. This is especially helpful if they don’t have the upper body strength to hang from the obstacles.

Rubber: Plastic or hard rubber rings are also common in these kits. Some of the spinning wheels are plastic or rubber, and many of the attachments to the climbing ropes are either rubber or wood. Ball: Instead of a knot at the end of the rope, some obstacles have a smooth, round ball. It’s harder to grip and hang on to than a knot. Monkey bars: These wooden bars have a rope with a steel clip attached to each end. That means the bar hangs parallel to the line. Keep the line low enough to the ground that your children’s feet are about one foot off the ground when they’re hanging from one of the obstacles. Show them how short the distance is so they won’t be scared. Nylon: Most of the lines are made from nylon. Its strength and durability make it the perfect material for these obstacle course kits. Unfortunately, nylon does tend to break down when it’s subjected to continuous UV exposure from the sun.The entire kit includes a carrying bag for an easy portable swing set to take to the park or store away as needed. Specs + Material Steel: The attachments to the line are generally steel carabiners. Some of the rings, covered with a layer of rubber for comfort, are also made from steel. Cargo net: Any World War II movie about Marines will show them climbing up (or down) the side of a ship on cargo nets. If you’ve never done it, take our word for it — it’s harder than it looks. Gymnastic rings: A steel clip that connects to the line has a short rope with a steel ring on the end of it. The bottom half of the ring is normally coated with heavy rubber to provide a comfortable grip.
