The 2024 Guide To Buying Climbing Frames

Guide To Buying Climbing Frames

A little fresh air can go a long way, especially for children who’ve spent most of their day in a classroom. Playgrounds are the perfect way to entice young ones outside too and one of the most exciting pieces of apparatus in a playground has to be the climbing frame. They’re great for building strength and pushing a little one’s imagination. While one child may see a climbing frame as a pirate ship, another may see one as a den. They not only help push children to test and develop their balance and coordination but they also help develop a child’s creative thinking which should never be underestimated. 

When buying climbing frames however, there are a multitude of different factors to consider, from safety to size as well as the age of the children your climbing frame is intended for. How much space do you have for your climbing frame? Is it going to be the only piece of equipment you offer or will it be the centre piece amongst a variety of playground options? What budget do you have and does it include the budget for installation?

You’ll need to choose the space you’re placing your climbing frame in with extreme care. Not only will you need to consider the floor space and whether it’s a safe enough platform but you’ll also need to consider space around your climbing frame which will differ depending on the size climbing frame you opt for.
