Entice children to climb with the Spider Pyramid 8-6. A rope climber, ropes create the climber. From those ropes, a multitude of other line drape off into new directions. Together, a structure is formed that children can climb up and down. Any type of climbing activity builds up full body strength and in particular, core strength. Often undervalued, play is important for muscle development that will affect children for the rest of their lives.
The Spider Pyramid style of climber is perhaps one of the most intriguing. As the lines turn corners and connect to new lines, the climbing structure changes. Metal climbers often feature the same shapes again and again in a constant pattern. While the pyramid does have a pattern, it changes through the layers of depth as the climber nears the core. This variance makes it necessary for children to be constantly paying attention as they find their route through the maze.
Constructed out steel and polyester, this climber is sure to last. The center-most post is an 8-inch diameter steel post with a cap to keep the elements out. From the central post four additional support arms jut out. Attaching themselves to the arms are eight grids of 16mm ropes connected with high-density polyethylene fasteners. The ropes themselves are made up of 6 strands of steel and an inner fiber that are then wrapped in a cocoon of polyester fibers. The outside of the cord is then coated in a latex bonding agent. Adding the latex strengthens the rope from abrasions.
