Boarding Net

Blue

$1,768.30

The Boarding Net from SportsPlay brings climbing, strength-building, and active movement together in a compact commercial playground activity designed for children ages 5–12. Featuring a vertical net configuration, this fitness-course component encourages children to grip, reach, pull, climb, and coordinate their movements as they navigate the equipment.

Climbing a net requires children to use both their upper and lower bodies as they determine where to place their hands and feet. These movements help strengthen the arms, shoulders, legs, and core while supporting grip strength, coordination, agility, balance, and overall body control.

The flexible climbing pattern also encourages motor planning and problem-solving. Rather than following one fixed route, children can determine their own path across the net, adjust their movements, and gradually attempt more challenging routes as their abilities and confidence develop.

The Boarding Net works well as a standalone climbing activity or as one component of a larger playground obstacle or fitness course. Pairing it with balance beams, stepping activities, and additional climbers can create a varied physical play environment that keeps school-age children moving and engaged.

Measuring 1' x 8' x 5', the Boarding Net weighs approximately 250 pounds and requires a 13' x 17' use zone. In-ground mounting provides a permanent installation designed for commercial outdoor environments.

Footer Options (Varies by Product)

In-Ground Mounting

This is the most common installation method for playground and shade structures. It involves digging holes and setting the posts directly into concrete that is poured during installation.

Surface Mount (Anchor Bolt)

With this method, posts are secured to an existing solid surface—typically concrete—using specialized base plates and anchor bolt hardware provided with the product.

Ground Spike

This is the simplest mounting option, using a sledgehammer to drive stakes through a footer plate to secure the posts in the desired location. Ground spikes are not recommended for sandy or loamy soil conditions and are only available for select product sets.

FAQs

What are the payment requirements for an order?

Full payment is typically required upfront due to the custom nature of many products. Exceptions can be made for governmental entities through approved purchase orders. All payments must be received prior to the start of installation.

Are installation services available?

Installation services are available for commercial playground projects. A qualified and insured professional can be arranged to handle the setup, and quotes are provided upon request. The goal is to ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient installation process from start to finish.

Is expedited shipping an option for my order?

Expedited shipping is not currently available. Due to the size and nature of playground LTL shipments, most freight carriers are unable to guarantee faster delivery. Unless otherwise noted, all products ship according to the estimated lead times listed on each product page.

How is the estimated lead time calculated?

Estimated lead time refers to the amount of time it typically takes for a product to be prepared and shipped after an order is placed. For many commercial playground items, manufacturing begins only once the order is received. For example, if the lead time is listed as 8 to 10 weeks, that means it will take approximately8 to 10 weeks for the product to be manufactured, packaged, and shipped from the warehouse.
