This traversing structure comprises three sections and has been designed to span between two handrails and to avoid obstructing the existing access route below. Two laminated flared MDF panels provide lateral stability, one rigidly connects to the handrail at a fixed angle, the other rests and pivots on the handrail requiring the central plywood section to bend under the weigh of the panel; this results in the overall structural form.

3mm Birch plywood
