FAQs
What is the recommended age range for this climbing frame?
This frame is typically designed for children aged 3 to 10 years, though the baby swing allows younger children to use the frame under close adult supervision.
Does the timber come pre-treated?
Yes, but it is highly recommended to apply a fresh coat of weather-protective treatment shortly after assembly and once per year thereafter.
Can I assemble this alone?
It is strongly recommended to have at least two adults for the assembly process due to the size and weight of the timber components.
How much space do I need in my garden?
You should account for the footprint of the frame plus a 2-meter safety zone around all sides to ensure children can play without hitting obstacles.
Is the slide compatible with all weather types?
The slide is designed for outdoor use, but it may become very hot in direct sunlight; always check the temperature before allowing children to slide down.
Troubleshooting
Swing seat feels wobbly or loose
Inspect the swing chains and hooks. Tighten the shackles and ensure all bolts on the top beam are fully secure.
Wood showing signs of dryness or graying
Clean the surface with a soft brush and apply a high-quality exterior wood stain or preservative designed for garden play equipment.
Slide has developed static electricity
Wipe the surface of the slide with a damp cloth or a mixture of water and a small amount of fabric softener to reduce static buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal setup, ensure the frame is placed on a flat, level surface away from overhead obstructions like tree branches or washing lines. A safety perimeter of at least 2 meters around the equipment is recommended. During assembly, follow the provided manual closely and ensure all bolts are tightened securely. Regarding care, treat the timber annually with a child-safe wood preservative to protect against rot and moisture damage. Regularly check all hardware, swings, and fasteners for signs of wear or loosening to maintain a safe play environment.
