If the early childhood educator Maria Montessori could have created a museum for children, she would have built the Building for Kids: Children’s Museum in Appleton, Wisconsin. This children’s learning and play center occupies two floors in City Center Plaza. The museum is dedicated to inspiring children to learn through special exhibits and events which support and reinforce a child’s innate curiosity.
In 2006 Pucuda-Leading Edge, installed various climb netting systems on two levels of an elevated play area in the museum. Now, after a dozen years of countless youngsters running around and jumping on the climbing nets which we installed, they finally needed to be replaced. Even our super resilient nets need to be replaced after so many years.

Cables are used to raise the net platform. 
Barrier netting installed on the completed net tunnels which connect elevated lofts.
Using drawings citing dimensions and locations for our replacement nets, we manufactured the climb netting which made up several bridges and platforms and the barrier netting which encloses the netted structures. For the climb netting, we used our patented Shrinking Net® and for the barrier our 30K barrier. The miracle of our Shrinking Net® is that it tightens when water is applied, creating a super tight, soft net which is ideal for climbing and walking on. If it ever gets slack, it can be easily re-tightened by applying warm water.
With over 30 years of experience manufacturing netting for amusement parks, Pucuda-Leading Edge is the premiere netting supplier that science and children’s museums turn to when they need mesh netting and climbing structures for their interactive playscapes. As designers of our own netted structures, Pucuda wants to encourage our clients to engage us during the design process, so that we can help them to achieve the best results possible.
Pucuda Leading Edge provides climbing netting, barrier netting and safety netting for amusement parks and water parks all over the world.
