Profile

• We have designed and installed some of the world’s most successful canopy tours. Our emphasis is on beautiful holistic design, with a sustainable, ecological approach to construction and operation.
• Our suspended bridges and walkways and tree-hugging platforms make for an exceptional layout that maximises exposure to the forest canopy.
• You don’t however, need a forest to build a zip-line tour. If you have the landscape we can do a great deal with gullies, ravines, high structures and other unsual features.
• Long ride Flying Fox installations in singles twins or more. Ideal for long rides with a recovery process possible, we can design multi-rider lines.

• Free-standing towers can encompass an entire rope course, or offer access to a multi-element adventure park layout. A 12m tower can offer access to 3 different levels of rope course or aerial trekking and offers a great control point for the clip-on and clip off of our continuous belay systems, snaking out on every level.
• Climbing and abseiling routes, flying fox zip lines, parachute jumps and high team elements are just some of the add-on options.
• We offer a complete choice of softwood and hardwood cladding options and as with all our facilities we offer bespoke designs from traditional to completely zany.

• Our woodwork skills matched with our rope and cable knowledge means that we can design iconic and sculptural suspended elements to suit your corporate requirements. We work with a wide range of materials and offer a fun suspended artwork to fill an atrium that will offer endless iconic fun to visiting kids.
• Suspended floating maze-like tree structures, bespoke animal climbing frames, rolling ball mobiles and so much more are offered to match your creative desires.
• Our buildings are designed around your adventure facility requirements. We offer choices in a range of timber species, shingles, bamboo, cables ropes, glass and steel. Our own UK R&D workshops offer a pointer to our skills in marrying the materials we work with, alongside our environment ethos of green sustainable structures.

• Adventure parks with differing levels of challenge. Pole or tree based courses offering an aerial-trekking experience with up to 60 different challenges. Our continuous belay systems offer very high throughput of scrambling, swooping, traversing, swinging, balancing, teetering and wriggling customers in complete safety with a dynamic range of movement.
• Themed bridges swings, mazes, tunnels, tree houses, caves and more to tie in to your planned leisure, shopping mall or waterpark facility.
• Indoor Sky Trail systems suspended from your roof beams and utilising space that is often un-used. A complete theme to match your décor or design influences is possible.
• Crowd pleasing, entertaining and awe inspiring elements, flying trapezes, balancing aerial unicycles, dramatic parachute jumps and more.

• Indoor and Outdoor structures using a host of natural materials and drawing on our foundations as a rope course company. We know what makes kid’s tick and our designs are based around maximum adventure.
• Besides our rope elements of bridges, swinging things, zipping, traversing and squeezing, we can offer complete mazes with caving type sections as well as free standing boulders with our local partners.
• We manufacture a wide range of combination rope and cable elements and can make up just about any design of structure mounted on either wood or steel supports.

• Suspension bridges are our forte. Whether tree based or attached to your building development we have specialist fitting design specifically for suspended cable bridges.
• Suspended walkways and decks in trees, on poles, suspended on cliff faces, we can put together an exceptional design, using many of our proprietary fittings and fixtures.
• If it is in rope or cable, we can manufacture it for you. Swings, scramble nets, tunnels, bridges, rope ladders and safety ropes can all be made in any shape or size.
• We use old-world spicing techniques and if it is in rope, we can do it.

Woodland Enterprise Centre
The UK workshop and offices of sister company Adventure Supply Co. Ltd shares a forest estate with an NGO that promotes the sustainable use of timber.  The Woodland Enterprise Centre < http://www.woodnet.org.uk> is itself an award winning assemblage of workshops and an education centre.  Various country and forestry crafts are covered with ongoing workshops and symposiums.

The structure was designed to reflect our work and the materials we work with, whilst concentrating on a sustainable eco building.  Steve Johnson from the Architecture Ensemble applied the necessary enthusiasm and creativity to our vision and the result is (we think) a beautiful building.  Challenge courses primarily use poles where trees are not possible so the base structure was initially erected as we would a rope course.  Laminated beams provide the rest of the skeleton and provide support to the research and development structure on the roof of the building.

Heating is provided by a wood pellet burner in the offices and the workshop will link to a bio-mass boiler using the scrap wood waste from our manufacture.  The local water utility proved to be a typically evil monopoly, so after months of them sitting on our money for a connection without any resulting action, we cancelled our application for a connection and installed a rain water harvesting system.  Composting toilets keep us free from a sewerage system.  The roof system is designed to allow us to establish a green roof, although the autumn fall-out of leaves from the larch trees may create difficulties and further research is required for shade tolerant species.

One of the problems with green developments is that not everyone understands what they are looking at.  A chartered surveyor appointed by the bank complained that floors were just bare wood with no carpet coverings.  Because our windows were not manufactured from uPVC he also did not realise that double glazing was in fact standard.  Our Fermacel walls did not appeal to him either.  Fermacel is a robust board made completely from recycled fibres, much stronger than conventional plasterboard.  Again the surveyor complained that our internal walls were unfinished because of the "missing" plasterboard.

This is a cautionary tale for any private enterprise trying to be genuinely green.  Establishment bankers and surveyors will not appreciate deviation from the norm.  Green, energy efficient buildings are more expensive to build in the the short term, with longer term savings in energy efficiency.
