in google search all I am finding are builders and operators of obstacle courses.
Has anyone spec'd a wood log obstacle course? I assume if no spec appears, I can rough up rough carpentry a bit and issue that....?
Assume pine logs (straight wood and lower price) strip bark off to be round, apply sealer, assemble with lag bolts, footings, etc...
help! |

The last time I did one, the spec read, "Take a group of 14 y.o. youth into the woods with a saw, an axe, and a coil of rope.
But if I was doing one today, it would probably have safety harnesses, too.

I'd be concerned about knots and branches. Be sure all protrusions are ground flush and sanded smooth. |

With all due respect to the old "Cowboy after OSHA" poster: If I couldn't find a firm offering material + installation labor (plus insurance) for such an installation, I would recommend to the owner that they not issue such a specification. The first time little Ichabod trips and breaks his leg, his outraged attorney parents will be after the owner, the architect, and the specifier. |
