A wooden climbing frame needs to be taken care of. You will enjoy your climbing frames for years if you follow some basic steps, when caring for the wood.
In the factory, the wood is treated with a priming coat. This coat gives the frame its lovely colour and will protect it for a few months once it has been built outside.
Every summer, if you sand down and treat your frame with a waterproof stain, you will protect it again ready for the coming winter and it will last years. In order to fulfil the guarantee, you must take good care of your frame.
The stain that is applied in the factory is water-based and child-friendly. When you treat your frame, you can choose to use either a water-based or an oil-based stain. If you opt for an oil-based stain, you cannot then use a water-based stain the next time. You’ll find wood-staining products in your local DIY store.
Make sure you regularly check the fixings of your frame. Over time, they may loosen and will need to be retightened.
If you follow this advice, your frame will outlast your child’s childhood!
