Climbing trees just got a whole lot easier with this modular staircase that seamlessly spirals around the trunk of a tree.
The 'Canopystair' is a modular spiral system created by designers Robert McIntyre and Thor ter Kulve to easily reach the canopy of a tree. The system is lightweight and quick to assemble without having to worry about marking or damaging the tree it attaches too. The modular staircase consists of an aluminium tripod frame, a lightweight tread, a safety handrail and a quick-to-attach ratchet strap system that can be assembled in minutes.
With this attachable spiral staircase, any tree can easily become an instant scenic lookout, or a brand new leafy canopy world to discover and explore.
