Constructed of treated pine board, hot dipped galvanised chain and stainless steel marine grade bolts, the main aim of the sand ladder is to channel all beach traffic on to the one wooden walkway.

Sand Ladder Construction
The preparation of the sand ladder is carried out in the Conservation Services workshop. The construction is done on site, either with the help of a community group or by Conservation Services. Generally, we can install 100+ meters of ladder per day. The process of site inspection and measuring to construction takes about a month.
Conservation Services have an in-depth knowledge of sensitive areas and habitats such as National Nature Reserves and embryonic shifting dunes and marram dunes. Tony Murray, NPWS Wexford
