Low ropes courses consist of a series of real and imaginary obstacles designed to challenge groups and individuals to work together to accomplish a task.
Participants who are thinking are involved and invested throughout the course of their challenge. Low Challenge Elements, also called Low Ropes Elements, range from seemingly simple games with no materials at all to complex puzzles that challenge a team mentally and physically as they traverse difficult obstacles.
A Challenge Course is a combination of mental and physical challenges requiring groups to work as a team to accomplish goals. Through a series of fun and unusual activities, participants learn valuable information about themselves, each other, and the group as a unit.
A high ropes course is built in the trees or made of utility poles and involves crawling, abseiling and climbing around obstacles up to 50 feet in the air. Participants wear harnesses and are attached to a safety line before tackling ladders, bridges, tunnels and zip lines.
Designed to encourage problem solving, balance and communication. Our purpose-built low ropes course is less than one metre off the ground, so it's ideal as an activity on its own, or great for building up confidence before tackling some of our higher activities.
The commitment bridge has two foot cables that form. a “Y” between trees or poles. The objective is work with a partner to try to go as. far along the cables as possible without falling.
A low ropes course is an excellent military style addition to any workout regimen. The assembly requires a few tools and a bit of planning, but can be accomplished over a weekend. Low ropes courses are useful for working on muscles that often get over-looked at the gym.
Measure the amount of open space available to install the low ropes course. You need at least 50 to 100 feet of open outdoor space . Note the dimensions on a piece of paper, and decide what obstacles to build.
This means that you will need 4 pieces of rope for the 18-foot sections, and 7 pieces of rope for the 9-foot sections.
This means that you will need 4 pieces of rope for the 18-foot sections, and 7 pieces of rope for the 9-foot sections. Leave an extra 4 feet of rope on each corner piece of the 18-foot lengths so there is enough to tether the rope to the pole when it is assembled. Lay these pieces out on the ground as you would a grid, ...
A series of single ropes can be suspended horizontally at varied heights to represent 4 small successive hurdles. Once you have drawn out the course calculate the amount of rope that will be necessary by adding together the measurements in feet.
There are 28 cross sections for you to tie off, so measure often for accuracy. Space the poles 3 feet apart to allow ample space for a person to jump between for the hurdle ropes. Each hurdle is a single rope and should be cut based on the spacing of the 2 poles holding it.
For a 15-foot tight rope assume that you will need extra at each end to tie the rope to the pole. The rope for the tight rope should be very thick sturdy rope that will not break under the weight of a person. Use the large scissors or sharp knife to cut the rope to the appropriate length.
