Tensile was proud to deliver custom mesh barriers for the Ribbon Playground in Darling Harbour—a bold, interactive space nestled beneath the Western Distributor and beside the Ribbon Building.
Featuring swing bridges, climbable rigs, and undulating wave and bay zones, the playground reflects its waterfront surroundings with organic shapes and playful geometry.
The safety barriers - crafted from Jakob Webnet mesh and stainless steel cable systems, mirror the structure’s curves while meeting complex engineering and load requirements.
With flexibility akin to fabric, the mesh adapts seamlessly to the playground’s unique forms.
