Rope Play
Rope is where kids test themselves. A rope playground gives the braver ones a spider web net to scale and a swaying traverse to wobble across, and gives the fort a net to climb instead of a ladder. Everything gives a little underfoot, so every crossing is a small win.
Our rope elements are fabricated in our own workshop and made to link together into one continuous course rather than a row of separate stops. Explore the range and see what fits your project, and if you have an idea of your own, let us know. We supply and install across WA, and supply nationally with installation drawings for your contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who supplies rope play structures and climbing nets for playgrounds in Australia?
Van Ryt Industries builds rope play equipment in its O'Connor, Western Australia workshop and supplies it Australia-wide. The range covers the Spider Web Net, Army Style Climber, Rope Net Triangle, Criss Cross Traverse, Rope Tunnel Traverse, Swinging Hammock and Rope Traverse. All sit on Jarrah posts and are designed in accordance with AS 4685. Each net is hand-tensioned in the workshop. VRI installs across WA, and supplies interstate with shop drawings and fall-zone documentation for your contractor.
What is rope play equipment made from?
UV-stabilised playground rope on West Australian Jarrah posts. Rope meets rope at aluminium junctions. Stainless steel fixings then secure it to the timber, so the net keeps its geometry under load. The net climbers, including the Spider Web Net and Army Style Climber, use steel-reinforced combination rope. Every element is also hand-tensioned to its purpose. That means firm for a rope climbing net, and deliberately looser on a hammock or a rope playground traverse where movement is the point.
What age is rope play equipment suitable for?
It depends on the piece. VRI rates the Rope Traverse, Tight Ropes, Swinging Hammock and Rigid Hammock from age 3, so they suit early learning and junior playgrounds. The Army Style Climber and Balance Log Traverse carry a rating from 4. The bigger net climbers carry a rating from 5 or 6. That covers the Spider Web Net, Criss Cross Traverse and Dangling Log Traverse, where grip strength and reach make a rope climbing net a fair challenge.
