Tube slide
Physical
sliding develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. Furthermore, the core muscles are trained when sitting upright going down.
Social-Emotional
thrill when going down fast. Empathy stimulated by turn-taking.
The SkyTwister, Sensory is an intriguing, novel activity-packed play magnet for children. Novel play activities increase retention, and they also increase play value. The Twisted Tower is an intense place to feel wonder, move and make friends. The twisted frame contains a rich variety of puzzling optic effects and climbing, swaying play heights that attract children. On top awaits an entirely fascinating destination: optic see-through panels that change the way the world looks and lights up the faces of friends in many colors. The top meeting point has bouncy membrane flooring to add sensory wonders, and a thrilling tall slide completes the feel. The transparency of the Twisted Tower, from bottom to top, makes it a play unit for intense cooperation, consideration and communication across levels and activities. At ground level, inclined nets offer climbing challenges, and novel net-rollers add to the play experience with tactile elements for massaging the back or having fun gliding down the rollers. A swaying, hanging pod is suspended from the nets and invites a break to reflect the movements of the friends climbing the nets above. The optic panels create a sense of wonder at ground level with moiré-like visual effects. Combined with the inclined, horizontal nets, the lower level of the SkyTwister offers an inviting and responsive meeting point for all. When swaying and climbing in the SkyTwister, children develop crucial motor skills and major muscles in a fun way. Motor skills such as cross-coordination and balance build the capability to move confidently and securely through the world. And the sensory play items provide important sensory stimulations.

Key Features
The graphic panels are made of high-quality polycarbonate with a thickness of 6mm. The color changing dichroic film is glued on the outside. The PC panels are UV stabilized to prevent degradation.
Turnable optic panels of two 7mm thick polycarbonate plates with a distance of 40mm. The inside graphic print consist of an inner image layer and outer transparent protection layer. Both PC panel and the water-based lacquer are UV stabilized to prevent fading of the print.
Hangout pod designed with a welded frame of two steel rings which are hot dip galvanized and powder coated. The membrane consist of friction-proof rubberized material of conveyor belt quality with excellent UV resistance.
The steel surfaces are hot dip galvanized inside and outside with lead free zinc. The galvanization has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.
Please note: Dichroic film is a reflective material. As the sun moves around a product, there will be reflections to the environment around, which can be quite bright when the sun is at a certain angle. But as the sun moves, so will the reflections.
Corocord ropes of UV-stabilized PES rope strands with inner steel cable reinforcement. The polyester yarn is made from +95% post-consumer materials and is inductively melted onto each strand. PES has high strength with excellent resistance to abrasion and UV radiation. The ropes are connected by stainless steel S-Clamps which are pressed around the rope which results in a durable and vandalism solution.
