Basics Polygodes
There is enough space in our central mast play structures for children to enjoy the thrill of playing at great heights simultaneously. Our Polygodes are available in three basic forms, each varying in its number of anchor points. Both the Tetragode and Trigode models exhibit classic, architecturally influenced lines. The Trigode’ s rope net is anchored into the ground at three points, whereas – as its name suggests – the Tetragode extends from the central mast outwards in four directions to create its play space.
The shape of the Pentagode offers even more space in which to climb. Its pagoda-like proportions lend an exotic touch to any playscape. Its spreader bars extend outwards from the central steel mast, supporting five double ropes and giving the apparatus its characteristic appearance. This pentagonal form creates an especially large space in which to climb.

Expansion Possibilities
It goes without saying that all our central masts make ideal stand-alone play structures – but if space permits, why not expand? With almost any combination possible, simply get in touch to discuss the possibilities. For example, a Tetragode can be directly attached to another Tetragode of the same size or the next size up or down. This allows for the creation of entire mountain ranges. Why not combining four of our central mast structures? Let your imagination run wild and see what happens. How about a low rope landscape crowned by a central mast play structure? Or a Pentagode topped by one of our bamboo-paneled Greenville playhouses? The following pages illustrate a number of exciting possibilities.
