No matter the climate where you live, spring brings new beginnings. In the challenge course world, the annual course inspection is often a piece of that.

1. When scheduling the inspection, the earlier the better. A reputable vendor will have their schedule full quite a few months in advance, particularly in the “busy season,” which begins in March and runs through early July. If there are other courses in the area which are serviced by the same vendor, see if you can get together and schedule inspections at the same time--easier for the vendor, and perhaps you will all save some money on travel expenses.

2. The inspector will need to climb on the course to see all of the hardware, check connections and examine all components. This is a great time to trim that branch you have been meaning to get out of the way!
