Mobius Climber- 02.29.08
Mobius Climbers from Landscape Structures! Is there simpler more intriguing surface? My future backyard will definitely need one of these… essentially it is a giant sheet of annodized aluminum with rock climbing styled hand holds so kids (or you) can climb up, down, and all around any side (well, i guess its only really ONE side) of it… It is available in 4 configurations to accommodate various budgets ~ 3, 6, 7, and 12 panel options. My only disappointment with this is that you can’t climb a full loop and go around and around since the two ends go into the ground (so really this isn’t a mobius strip so much as a crazily bent sheet), but with a little imagination i supposed you can assume that where these go into the ground they pop out into another yard and continue the loop. Also cool could have been if it was in a loop AND you could unzip it down the middle for an even larger mobius strip! More images after the jump!
(don’t forget to check out the videos at their site!)
Dangerous, huh? A playground piece surrounded by finely chopped rubber and at its highest point is 6 feet off the ground. How can parents even fathom letting children climb trees let alone climbing on equipment such as this… Please. It’s great to see this playground and I have even seen this at Fort Bliss, TX and the kids love it! I can’t wait to see the old tetrahedrons make a comeback as well. Like thunderdome for kids!
