rope bridges
Swaying canyon connectors
Rope bridges are suspension bridges made primarily of rope or cable, typically with rope handrails and a walkway of planks or woven fibers.
They span gorges, rivers, and other gaps in terrain where permanent construction is impractical.
The design ranges from simple two-rope structures to elaborate woven constructions: The rope bridge swayed as hikers crossed the canyon.
They're common in adventure tourism, jungle settings, and playground equipment.
