 Zig Zag Gorge |

 Here is a module that is both difficult to construct and challenging
to navigate. Multiple levels meander through and around a deep gorge, hairpin turns, and
bridges galore...Stiffening this module takes some creativity. Consider
using hollow aluminum or steel rectangular bar to provide additional stiffness within a
wood box as shown. This would provide the necessary strength and stiffness since the
height of the module narrows through the gorge.
You may also want to incorporate metal bar
surrounded by wood in the bridge decking to ensure they are sufficiently rugged and robust
to withstand leaning children. The segment top could be slanted into the gorge for an even
more striking presentation.
