STRUCTURAL STEEL PIPES:
The geometrical structure surrounding the net climber is made of Allied tubing 2.375" diameter by 3/16” wall and covered with a polyester powder coating. Galvanized ¾” coarse thread fittings are welded at the ends of the pipes to allow on site assembly with the junction balls. The welds are done inside the tubing to avoid damaging the galvanized surface outside the Allied tubing.

PIPE JUNCTION BALLS:
The junction balls are perfectly round made of hollowed 8" diameter “tensaloy” aluminium casting allowing access inside (no flat surfaces or standing surfaces according to CSA and ASTM
Standards). The balls are machined with in-bedded shapes positioned by computer assisted data in order to fit the structural steel pipes with perfect angles. The pipes are assembled to the junction balls from the inside using ¾” coarse nuts and lock washers. The access is covered with a spherical cap made of aluminium and secured with vandal resistant hardware. Both the junction ball and the cap are covered with a polyester powder coating.

3D CABLES NET:
The cable net is a three dimensional arrangement of cable cells forming a complex geometry and complying with the dimensions set by the CSA Standards. It is factory assembled using a (20mm)
diameter cable reinforced with 6 strands of steel and covered with UV resistant polyamide nylon. The net is assembled in such a way that each individual cable can be taken apart for replacement. This is done to avoid on site cutting and jointing of the net, which could alter the structural integrity of the cable.

3D CABLE NET ATTACHMENT:
Each cable end is jointed to the structure with loops that are reinforced with galvanized steel inside and closed using a 40 tons compression aluminum sleeve (sleeves have rounded radius edges for smooth finish). The loops are connected to the tension rods with ¾” forged clevis galvanized and finished with a polyester powder coating.

TENSION EYE BOLT:
Cable end loops are connected to the structure with ¾” stainless steel adjustable tension rods
going through the hollowed junction balls. The clevis is the intermediate connection between the cable
loop and the tension rod. A ¾” vandal resistant bolt locked with a stainless steel set screw
secures the attachment.

CABLE NET MECANICAL CROSS JOINTS:
Mechanical cross joints are made of 2”diameter solid aluminium casting. Both cross holes are
moulded with radius edges to avoid cutting edges from wearing the cables. Stainless steel rings are
swaged at each cable joint with a radial pressure of 40 tons prior to assembly with the cross joints.
The final assem bly is done with a vandal resistant, sunken 5/16’’ pinhead stainless steel set screw.
