How Building A Low Ropes Course Works

I build 10-15 ropes courses per year.  I build a lot of the course at my farm and bring it to your farm to complete the project.  I will need a list of obstacles that you would like.

The farm owner is responsible to get the obstacles shipped to their farm.  You order the obstacles through Jennifer at farmtasticfun.com

I get the lumber, I make the brackets, I buy all the bolts, screws and eye bolts.  And build the low ropes course.

The farm is responsible for painting or staining the low ropes course. The farm owner needs to have the ground prepared before I come.  I need a fairly level spot of ground with good drainage and 4-6 inches of gravel.  If you have good drainage already I can build the course right on the dirt. After I finish the owner will need to bring in 6-8in of playground wood chips.

I will also need a skid steer or tractor to move pergolas and set the beams.
