Finding the Ideal Spot Before you place your order, make sure to measure the available area in your garden. Look for a nice flat surface, preferably with grass or a pre-laid safety surface. Avoid hard surfaces like stone, concrete, or decking. Also, give some space between the climbing frame and any structure, tree, or wall. Check the size of your chosen frame and modules to ensure your garden has enough room. For safety purposes, leave at least 1.5-2m of free space or a safety area around the tower/modules, 2m in front of the slide, and 3.5m in front and behind the swing top pole.
Building a Solid Base A sturdy foundation is essential for your climbing frame to stand the test of time. Make sure you have a flat and level surface to install it on. This will prevent any leaning or sinking as time goes by. For larger models, be ready to concrete the anchors to secure the frame. Choose an area that allows for this before picking your frame and modules.
Safety Comes First Climbing frames are an amazing addition to any family garden, but always remember to supervise children while they play. If possible, try to position the climbing frame where you can see it from your garden windows. That way, you can keep an eye on your little ones even when you’re not outside with them.
Choosing the Right Location
When it comes to selecting the perfect spot for your climbing frame, finding a flat and level surface is absolutely essential. Avoid the hassle of sinking, tilting, or unevenness while using the climbing frame. Additionally, remember that certain frames may require concrete anchors, so it’s important to ensure that you have the capability to install them. Create a unique and enjoyable play area with these helpful guidelines.
Setting up Space
When choosing a spot for your climbing frame, it’s important to keep in mind the clearance from trees, walls, and other obstacles. Make sure to leave a gap of 1.5m to 3.5m, depending on the frame and module you choose. To ensure safety and maximize play, carefully plan the footprint of your frame, ensuring there is ample space around it. Happy climbing and joyful playtime!
Child’s Play: Keeping Things Safe and Fun!
When your little one is on a climbing frame, their safety is of utmost importance, especially if they’re still finding their footing. It’s vital to consider their attire too. Loose strings or big coat hoods can get caught up in the play equipment, posing risks of injury. Let’s make sure playtime is both safe and enjoyable for your child!

Delivery and Assembly – Lets’ talk about these important aspects to consider. Your climbing frame will be delivered to your location, but please note that it will be kerbside only.

Considering the size and weight of the climbing frame, we highly recommend planning your delivery and ensuring you have suitable assistance to bring all sections to your desired installation location simultaneously. This thoughtful preparation will ensure a smoother and more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
Maintenance Tips – Our climbing frames are crafted from durable timber, specifically Scandinavian Redwood, which undergoes pressure treatment for protection against rot and infestation for up to 10 years. With proper maintenance, they can last a lifetime while adding a touch of nature to your garden.
By choosing the perfect climbing frame and conducting thorough planning and research, you can create a unique and unforgettable addition that brings immense joy to your children and enhances the aesthetic appeal of your garden.
