Centre Parcs Longleat Forest
Gripsure Boardwalk Decking
Gripsure's Heritage was the perfect choice to revamp the walkway at Center Parcs Longleat Forest, a holiday resort located in Wiltshire, England. It is set within 400 acres of woodland and offers a range of accommodation options, from luxury lodges to treehouses and apartments.
Short break experts Center Parcs contacted Gripsure when replacing its iconic wooden boardwalk with a new structure.
Center Parcs Longleat Forest in Wiltshire needed to replace the boardwalk, which formed a main thoroughfare for the village and had been well used by visitors for the past 20 years. Its innovative non-slip decking guarantees the safety of guests and staff, whatever the weather.
The structure was designed and installed by B and B Innovations, who chose the thicker 50mm decking, due to the span and use of the boardwalk. The firm created an innovative boardwalk with no bolts passing through any of the structural timbers. Unusually the decking was also fixed underneath to minimise water ingressions and maximise the life of the boardwalk.
'The team at Center Parcs were so impressed with the quality, safety and finish of the product that they have since used Gripsure non-slip decking on bridges, boardwalks, steps and deck areas.'
