Our Expertise

Let decades of Bonsai experience give you the edge in adventure business. Time has given us an intimate understanding of everything we build, and allowed us to refine process and innovate design. A long-standing member of the Association for Challenge Course Technology (ACCT), we adhere to ACCT standards in all project phases, and have developed stringent internal standards as well. Additionally, we meet applicable standards written by the ASTM, formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials, OSHA, and local codes and regulations (including the acquisition of State Contractor’s Licenses) on each of our projects. Let our design and operational expertise work for you.
