Nets
Climbing nets from Safe & Sound Playgrounds (via GSWeb) combine fun, exercise and entertainment in the playground with the promotion of physical development, motor skills, balance and social interaction.
Available in an almost infinite number of variations, GSWeb are the accepted market-leader for very good reasons –
- GSWeb rope was originally developed for cable-supported pedestrian bridges. It is strong, soft to touch and come in a variety of colours
- The ropes used in GSWeb products are 20mm and 22mm diameter, polyamide rope cable with UV protection and are fire retardant
- Edge ropes comprise a solid core of wound stainless steel cables around a stainless steel core, giving 168 strands in total
- Hot-dip galvanised turnbuckles are massive and durable. They are fitted with self-locking nuts and counter nuts, and are specially produced for use with GSWeb products
- Every edge rope connection includes an additional safety rope. In the unlikely event that one of the main connections fails, the safety rope guarantees the stability and safety of the equipment
- Joints are one-piece solid aluminum spheres, compressed in place with 150,000 lb force (667 kN) to form a solidly locked permanent wear-free joint
- The masts are engineered for strength and rigidity, to inhibit structural oscillation and keep the structure stable. The masts are made of high-quality seamless steel, hot-dip galvanized and powder coated as standard
- Where appropriate, textile-reinforced rubber membranes completely surround the mast to fill in openings in the net, preventing entrapments
- Ground anchors and mounting plates are hot-dipped galvanised steel. Corner anchors have multiple connection points to allow for adjustability of the turnbuckles as well as connection of the safety rope. Centre mast anchors have a stub post that stabilises the mast, and an anchor ring that secures the assembly to the concrete foundation

Turnbuckle and Safety Rope
Mast Foot
Hot-dip galvanised turnbuckles are massive and durable. They’re fitted with self-locking nuts and counter nuts, and are specially produced for use with GSWeb products. Every edge rope connection includes an additional safety rope. In the unlikely event that one of the main connections fails, the safety rope guarantees the tability and safety of the equipment.
The Net Climber stands on a robust and rigid locator, which reduces critical stress on tensioned elements, especially on turnbuckles and ground anchors.
Ball Type Joint
Mast
Mast Cap
Joints are one-piece solid aluminum spheres, compressed in place with 150,000 pounds force (667 kN) to form a solidly locked permanent wear-free joint.
Masts are at the heart of almost every GSWeb product. They engineered for strength and rigidity, to inhibit structural oscillation and keep the structure stable. The masts are made of high-quality seamless steel, hot-dip galvanized and powder coated as standard.
Mast caps are made of MC (Monomer Cast) nylon. Where edge ropes cross the mast cap, they’re anchored by means of U-bolts with nuts and washers inside the mast.
Mast Membrane
Mounting Plates
Where appropriate, textile-reinforced rubber membranes, completely surround the mast to fill in openings in the net, preventing entrapments.
Ground anchors and mounting plates are hot-dipped galvanised steel. Corner anchors have multiple connection points to allow for adjustability of the turnbuckles as well as connection of the safety rope. Centre mast anchors have a stub post that stabilises the mast, and an anchor ring that secures the assembly to the concrete foundation.
