Free no obligation site visit and quotation
A visit from one of our engineers will help to determine the suitability of your site and ultimately design your course. Additionally, this is an opportunity to collate information to produce a site specific risk assessment. Drawing on our extensive knowledge, consideration is given to the operation, safe access, and the environment for your course, thus providing you with a unique, tailor made solution.

Course Design & Engineering
When we have developed your course with you, we are in a position to provide you with a proposal and scale, conceptual detail drawing. These details can be mapped onto a digital image or satellite photo of your site to help with marketing and planning. On pole based and indoor courses, if the proposal and design are accepted, we will commission our independent structural and geotechnical engineer to calculate the loads on the design and compile the general arrangements, fabrication drawings and structural calculations to conform to the European Ropes Courses Standard, prEN 15567-1 ³safety requirements and test methods²

Disabled Access
J M Adventure considers all issues associated with access for all potential participants irrespective of ability when designing and installing new equipment. As part of our product list we have an ‘All Ability Course’ and many of our integrated climbing tower and ropes courses include features that allow all abilities to access and join in the activities.
