Steel: The attachments to the line are generally steel carabiners. Some of the rings, covered with a layer of rubber for comfort, are also made from steel. The entire kit includes a carrying bag for an easy portable swing set to take to the park or store away as needed. Specs + Material

Ninjaline – Bolder Play

Rope ladders with rungs: This is the kind of ladder you see on TV when they unroll a rope ladder from a helicopter for people to climb. The kids will have a blast with this one. They use a crate to start, they pronounce the 3rd obstacle a winner and continue to move that number as their skills improve. Cargo net: Any World War II movie about Marines will show them climbing up (or down) the side of a ship on cargo nets. If you’ve never done it, take our word for it — it’s harder than it looks. Rubber: Plastic or hard rubber rings are also common in these kits. Some of the spinning wheels are plastic or rubber, and many of the attachments to the climbing ropes are either rubber or wood. Monkey bars: These wooden bars have a rope with a steel clip attached to each end. That means the bar hangs parallel to the line.

These obstacle kits are made for kids — as a result, they come in a wide variety of colours. Almost every kit available has multiple colours on all the obstacles and lines. Even the ratchets come in different colours. Obstacles has been a challenging year, to say the least. Nevertheless, we hope to make your Christmas and Hanukkah shopping as stress-free as possible! Cargo nets work best when there is a rope holding down the bottom of the net and stretching it taut.

Nylon knots: These have a steel clip on one end and a nylon rope tied into a big knot on the other end. Attach the clip to the line and let the kids swing on the knot. Ball: Instead of a knot at the end of the rope, some obstacles have a smooth, round ball. It’s harder to grip and hang on to than a knot.As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecedented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game. Put a second line under the first one so your kids will have something to stand on while they grab the obstacles. This is especially helpful if they don’t have the upper body strength to hang from the obstacles.

Nylon: Most of the lines are made from nylon. Its strength and durability make it the perfect material for these obstacle course kits. Unfortunately, nylon does tend to break down when it’s subjected to continuous UV exposure from the sun. Easy to install and take down means you can take your training with you! Just be sure you hang it between 2 posts or healthy trees. Keep the line low enough to the ground that your children’s feet are about one foot off the ground when they’re hanging from one of the obstacles. Show them how short the distance is so they won’t be scared.

My grandchildren, ages 10, 8 and 6. are loving this gift. It is difficult for them so they have devised creative ways to make it a little easier. Climbing ropes: There are different configurations for climbing ropes. Some are even referred to as rope ladders, but there is only a single rope on them. They normally have a knot or stop of some kind on them for the kids to brace their feet on as they climb the rope. Cone: These obstacles feature a simple cone with the narrow end facing up. Some people say it’s even harder to hold on to a cone than a ball. Gymnastic rings: A steel clip that connects to the line has a short rope with a steel ring on the end of it. The bottom half of the ring is normally coated with heavy rubber to provide a comfortable grip.
