At Inside Out Ropes Courses we strive for excellence, in part, due to our dedicated and diligent approach to ropes course construction and our continual drive for improvement evident at all levels within the company.
The European Ropes Course Association (ERCA) is an umbrella organisation that oversees the standards relating to construction, operation and inspection of ropes courses. All Inside Out Ropes Courses courses are inspected on completion by an Independent ERCA type A inspector to give you peace of mind that the course exceeds relevant standards and ensures compliance with EN 15567 part 1 & 2.
Inside Out Ropes Courses is an ERCA member and as such is bound to comply with the ERCA professional code of conduct.
This standard relates to construction and safety requirements for ropes courses. It is intended to ensure that the design and construction of the facility is undertaken using appropriate materials; is constructed to minimum standards; and is externally inspected by an independent ERCA type A inspector. (An Individual that does not build or maintain ropes courses and can therefore make an impartial assessment having no vested interest in the outcome of the inspection).
This relates to the operational aspect of ropes course facilities and is intended to ensure the construction company passes on the necessary operational and risk assessment document to the user of the structure. It incorporates aspects such as; supervision levels; signage; participant requirements; risk assessment; maintenance and inspection regimes. This documentation is assessed during the inaugural inspection on completion of the construction by the ERCA type A inspection.
This standard relates to construction and safety standards for artificial climbing structures. It is intended to ensure that the design, construction process and materials used are compliant with the minimum standards.
Just visited Haggerston Castle for the first time since our new course was installed - wow, wow and wow again!

We've recently worked with a ropes course at the Bristol Zoo called "Zooropia!". We upgraded the safety system to a continuous Saferoller system enabling clients to be clipped in from the moment they leave the ground until they return to the ground at the end of the course.
This unique course allows you to swing next to the Zoo's most popular inhabitants such as the gibbons, gorillas and lemurs. It was an un-nerving experience being keenly watched by the gorillas as we constructed the course!
After the conversion, the client reported that operartion of the course was smoother, leading to greater turnover.
For more details of this innovative ropes course visit the Zooropia web site.
