Certex Gloucester was proud to manufacture and supply the bespoke Burma Rope Bridge installed at Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, one of the UK’s most iconic horticultural destinations. This 36-metre rope bridge spans the Gardens’ largest pond, creating a striking and immersive crossing that enhances the visitor experience and complements the rich, subtropical planting.

The design takes inspiration from traditional Burma rope bridges, combining strength, flexibility, and an adventurous aesthetic that encourages exploration and play. Carefully engineered and constructed in our Gloucester facility, the bridge was crafted to meet the unique site conditions and integrate seamlessly with the garden’s landscape and pathways.

Working closely with the client, we delivered a high-quality rope structure that not only supports safe, everyday use but also contributes to the visual appeal and character of the Gardens — now enjoyed by visitors of all ages as they discover this remarkable feature from new heights.
