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.
Our new low level team challenge course was beyond all our expectations and will provide an amazing resource for groups of young people and adults alike.

Insideout undertakes a regular review of processes and procedures ranging from external testing of our own products to ensuring all critical components used on our builds are certified. The picture illustrates a test being conducted on a swaged eye with a hard thimble. The product failed at a massive 9.1 tons! That's more than a male African elephant weighs!
