Wall & Boulder Combinations
The designed concrete is solid coloured and the connecting anchors (e.g. for ropes and nets) are installed individually which allows for countless arrangement and design options.
In here you will find a selection of standard climbing combinations. Colour concepts and surface designs can be tailored to specific framework conditions.
Castles
Let’s get creative and have a castle themed design! Provides incentives for climbing, catching and hiding, and immersing yourself in a fantasy world.
The climbable surface promotes movement sequences that are particularly interesting and challenging for older children. Complementary rope, mesh and balancing elements increase versatility and add to the excitement.
Polygonal Structures
Go for a modern architecture by styling your open space with irregular polygonal structures.
These are a popular stylistic choice when it comes to having a modern architecture in urban areas. The Polygonal sculptural design not only provides style and aesthetics, but it also provides the same play values as the whole of the ROX range.

ROX Case Study: Frankfurt, Germany
In Frankfurt, a climbing play facility was built on approx. 200m².
There are various sized rocks which are all linked by different play elements, such as a slide, nets and a suspension bridge. This results in a combination that is interesting for children as well as for adolescents.
There is an adjacent fitness course which further completes this recreational area, making it a great sport and fitness facility for young and old.
