A Wooden Climbing Frame - The Perfect Way To Entertain Your Kids For Years To Come
If you are thinking about how to keep your kids entertained during the summer months then what about considering getting them a wooden climbing frame ?
These days there are a bewildering choice of products to choose from, so lets take a quick look at the type of thing that is around and how you would go about setting it up…
The wooden climbing frame has evolved from the long-established monkey bars that you probably remember from your own childhood into an all encompassing wooden play centre. The designs of these are quite often modular which means that you can more often than not choose optional accessories and expand your play structure later on. There are a few of big brands that dominate this market, with further smaller companies producing equally good models. Brands to look out for are the TP Climbing Frame and the Little Tikes Playground.
You may be pleasantly surprised to find out that due to the competition in this industry prices have fallen and it is possible to get your hands on a climbing frame for a very affordable price.
When you come to install your climbing frame in your back garden you will have to be certain that you have not only just enough space to put it up, but also ample clearance all-around it so that children can get around it without the danger of getting hit by another child playing on it. When deciding on a location for your climbing frame be certain you take into consideration obstacles that can cause your child harm, such as washing lines, branches, and fences for example.
There are different ways of securing climbing frames in position, and it is definitely worth investigating this before you buy the climbing frame. If your climbing frame needs to be concreted into place then you can buy what you need prior to the climbing frame being delivered. What you don’t want is to take a day off work to build it and then find you can’t since you haven’t got the concrete you need, or worse still, having to explain to your (by now desperate to play on it) youngster pestering you and having to explain to him or her why you can’t build it!
Certain climbing frame models are supplied with ground anchors, which are just long metal rods that get buried in the soil while the top end of the ground anchor is fixed firmly to a leg of the climbing frame. Other climbing frames are designed in such a way that they just rest on the ground and do not need to be concreted in place or have ground anchors attached.
When assembling your climbing frame it definitely is worth taking the manufacturers assembly times and multiplying them by a factor of two or three! Even if you are a dab hand at DIY, it is extremely doubtful that you can build any climbing frame in the time that they specify. In fact you can most likely expect to be working at it pretty much all day.
Also, make certain that you have other people to help you assemble your climbing frame as they WILL be needed!
It might be a boring and lengthy process but it’s all worth it when you see the smile on your childs face when they finally get to play on their new wooden climbing frame.
