Providing the 'WOW' factor the bouncing Sputnik is a fabulous play experience. The den-like Sputnik is accessed via its steep supportive ropes. This climb encourages muscle use as well as motor skills: children need to cling on tightly to the ropes with their hands and arms, and they need to adjust their feet to the constant movement of all the children in the Sputnik. This helps train agility, balance and coordination as well as timing. These are important skills for building confidence in movement and will support e.g. the ability to judge traffic safety. As the den bounces and moves groups of children can sit, stand, lie and bounce. This supports social interaction and the ability to judge the awareness of others around. The den is fun and exciting enough to attract older children – or even parents!

Quality that lasts
Corocord ropes with 19mm+ diameter are known as a 'Hercules' rope type which is formed from galvanised six-stranded steel wires. Each strand is tightly wrapped with PES yarn, which is melted onto each individual strand. Ropes are highly wear-and vandalism-resistant and can be easily replaced on-site if needed.
Designed to allow the typical function of rope play structures to move Corocord 'S' clamps are used as universal connections in Corocord products. 8mm stainless steel rods with rounded edges are pressed around the ropes with a special hydraulic press, making them the ideal connector. Our clamps are safe, durable and vandalism-proof.
The steel structures are hot-dip galvanised inside and outside with lead free zinc. The galvanisation has excellent corrosion resistance and requires low maintenance.
Corocord membranes consist of friction-proof rubberised material of conveyor belt quality with excellent UV resistance. Tested and compliant with REACH requirements for PAH. Embedded is a four-layered armouring made of woven polyester. The armouring and the two surface layers result in a total thickness of 7.5 mm.
Corocord aluminium clamps are used as connectors between steel posts and rope. Two aluminium castings are bolted together. The height of the clamps is thus variable.
You can choose between seven rope colours to create a customised solution for your playscape. Colours options range from elegant and expressive black or natural and toned-down hemp colour to attractive and eye-catching signal colours.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage, from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
