We understand that choosing a climbing frame is a big investment, so you need to be about the one you choose. After all, it’s going to be standing in your garden for a good few years!
A climbing frame is a big structure so you will need to make some decisions before you settle on your perfect frame!

First of all, it is very important to measure your garden. It may sound silly, but you will be surprised at just how much space a frame will take up! We also recommend a safety perimeter around the frame of 1.8m (6ft) – it is vital you measure out enough space!

Secondly, you’re going to have to decide which features your children will enjoy! All of our climbing frames come with swings but there are different types of slides, swing beams, play deck heights, lower playhouses and baby seats. You can find many posts in our blog archive about the different features available which will help you make a decision!

While browsing our extensive range of frames, have a think about the roof type you prefer. There are two different types of roof – a fully wooden roof or a tarpaulin roof. Both rooves look lovely but each has its own ‘pros’ and ‘cons’. Wooden rooves are very strong and will last longer. They can stay outside all year but they are not colourful. Tarpaulin rooves are colourful but will need to be taken down during the winter so they are not damaged by bad weather.

Our climbing frame range is designed for children between the ages of 3 and 11. However, some frames are better suited to younger children and others are perfect for older kids. Another consideration to make: What ages are your children?!

Last but not least, if you have a budget in mind, finding a climbing frame that is right for you, will be much easier. There is a large choice and if you can narrow down your search by sticking to your budget, then finding a climbing frame will be much easier!

Good luck!
