Checklist For Rope Ladders For Children

Materials And Processing
  • The ropes of a rope ladder for children are usually made of sturdy and tear-resistant plastic fibers. So that your child can easily grasp them, they should be about 1.5 cm thick.
  • The rungs of a rope ladder can be made of unbreakable wood, metal or plastic. Rungs with a diameter of 2.6 to 3.5 cm offer your child slip resistance.
  • For the use of the rope ladder in the garden, impregnated wood, powder-coated metal or plastic are suitable. These materials show low wear and tear due to weather conditions.
Rung Spacing
  • With a rope ladder children from the age of 3 can train their motor skills in a playful way. The distance between the rungs should correspond to the age and height of your child to ensure safe climbing fun.
  • A rung spacing of 30 cm is suitable for children from 3 years of age.
  • A rung spacing of 35, 40 or 45 cm is recommended for children from 4 or 5 years of age.
Load Capacity
  • The maximum load capacity of a rope ladder for children can be between 60 and 120 kg.
  • A maximum load capacity of 70 kg is usually sufficient for use by small children.
  • For more safety when used by several children at the same time, you should go for a rope ladder with a load capacity of at least 100 kg.
Safety
  • High-quality materials and a clean processing serve the safety of your child when climbing. A TÜV or GS seal are good indicators of the quality of a rope ladder.
  • The construction of the rope ladder should correspond to the age and the abilities of your child. For small children, in addition to a safe suspension, it is recommended to anchor the rope ladder to the ground.
  • Reinforced rope loops and closed metal rings make it easier to hang up and down on anchored hooks.
  • Tear-resistant ropes and a non-slip coating on the rungs reduce the risk of injury for your child.
