Household Action

Science you can check
with your own hands.

A three-metre rope, three colours, no app. RiskRope turns defensible-space guidance into something a homeowner actually does, standing in their own yard.

Why It's Not Free

Knowing the science and doing something
about it are two different problems.

Everyone can find the defensible-space guidance online. Almost nobody walks it off with a tape measure. RiskRope removes the abstraction — a physical object with a job, that turns "I should check that" into something you actually do.

How It Works

Three Colours. Three Checks.

Red — 1.5m

Foundation clearance zone. Clear all combustibles from immediately around the structure.

Black — 2m

Branch pruning height, so fire on the ground can't climb into the canopy above.

Green — 3m

Full rope length, stretched between tree crowns, to confirm spacing stops a crown-to-crown jump.
