Hello everyone.
I'm so glad I found this forum and it is great to be here! So over the past few days I was lurking around and finally decided to register. Hopefully I can get some help here.
I'm a carpenter and the kind of DIY guy. One of my hobbies is actually building tree-houses. That is why I also do some volunteer work on the weekend at our local rope course to support them and maintain a few things. It is just a small one for the kids around, but they like it very much.
We recently finished two new, wooden platforms and we want to connect them via a small and simple rope bridge. Here is a picture of what we have in mind, so you get the idea.
My question is, is it possible to built this kind of bridge or is it even better, and more secure, to buy one? I already found a few rope bridges on the for sales website
http://www.for-sale.co.uk/rope-bridge. But as you have already guessed, we are a bit short on money. So I thought I give it a try.
So what do the experts here say about this? Is it possible? And what materials (ropes) do I need? And can anybody give a rough estimate on the costs of the rope?
Any support and feedback is highly appreciated.
Tyler.
