Description and Materials used
The “Spider Mountain ” is a unique new climbing attraction for all ages that develops motor
skills and gives a complete new experience each time it is attempted. The participants climb
upwards or downwards through a series of levels of interlaced flexible webbing straps, until
either reaching the top level and descending to the bottom level via a tube slide.
During operation a vertical fall is prevented by the interlaced webbing at each level, ensuring a soft
landing over a maximum fall distance of approximately 27.5 inches. By having the webbing in individual
strands along with keeping the minimum participant height to 42 inches, the fall height to 27.5 inches it
ensures that there is no possibility of a child hanging them-self or stepping on another participant below.
The participants are prevented from escaping sideways through the spaces between the main support
rings by flexible mesh netting, which is securely connected to the main structural ring components.
Additionally, to prevent any injury to the participants resulting from a trip or fall, the main structural steel

components are fully protected by soft padding, should a participant inadvertently fall against these. In
other words all contacts between the participants and the device are soft, which ensures that the
possibilities of any injuries are minimized. The ride is also supervised at all times, to ensure that over-
boisterous behavior is restricted.

the first two rings are installed.
Begin with the bottom ring which is the only ring without any netting or

bases with supplied u-bolts. The posts are pre-drilled to accept supplied u-
bolts. (see below)

support legs. For a total of 6 u-bolts per ring.

the appropriate net attached. The opening net has an opening of
36 inches in width. (see second Picture below)

ft-lbs. There are 6 U-bolts per ring, requiring 12 flat washers, 12
spring washers and 12 nuts. Starting at the bottom of structure
and ending at the top.
We can now begin securing the nets to the levels above and

net and securing a knot every 4 to 5 ft. (See picture below)
