Product Information

These ropes will degrade over time. This can be recognised by the rope becoming pale in colour and giving off a fine powder when rubbed. When either of these signs appears, the outdoor toy should be withdrawn from use. Products where the rope is joined with crimp will need to be completely replaced. Obviously, these significant differences between round and squared wood, in terms of the type of wood and the manufacturing processes they undergo, is reflected in the price of the frame. Round wood frames are cheaper than squared wood frames. And that’s not all. Want your children to be active, healthy and safe in your own garden? A climbing frame can make that possible.

Just keep the extension legs and rungs that are supplied with the climbing frame in a safe place, and when your child is ready, you can grow your climbing frame to full height at no extra cost. So, rest assured, your initial investment in a climbing frame will give you exceptional value for money and your child up to 12 years of fun.

Unlike round wood, squared wood tends to be derived from large, far more mature trees. It is removed from the much larger mature tree poles and includes very little, if any, heartwood in its profile. Squared wood then undergoes a significant manufacturing process. The wood is planed and smoothed to be made ready for the cutting and drilling of each of the dimensioned parts required to make a square wood playframe.Its standout feature is the up-and-over climbing ladder, designed with curved rungs and handrails to foster balance, coordination, and strength. Below is a floating den with a durable mesh den door and a lookout window where little ones can unwind. The arguments in favour of outdoor physical play do not stop there. Children will just call it fun, but child psychologists will applaud their successful negotiation of a well designed climbing frame because, in that achievement, children are developing important physical skills like balance, co-ordination, strength and agility. Their cognitive and intellectual development is being encouraged by the need to solve problems, concentrate, explore, imagine and discover just how they reach their secret den and hide from the ‘grown ups’. When they enjoy all these experiences with others, social skills of communicating, taking turns and sharing come to the fore. Newspapers are filled daily with reports of the dangers of childhood obesity and its detrimental effect on children’s health. The propensity of children to engage in sedentary activities such as watching television or playing computer games is a trend parents should try to balance by encouraging them towards active play as well, especially outdoors. Outdoor play burns more calories than other forms of play (1). Parents should get involved too. An average adult playing actively with a child will burn nearly 4 times more calories in an hour than they would watching television!
