Safety first
We know how important children's safety is, which is why our climbing frames are designed with care and precision to create a secure environment.
- Pressure-treated timber: Our wooden frames are pressure-treated to resist rot, ensuring they remain durable and safe for years of use.
- Soft surfacing: To enhance safety, add rubber mats, chopped bark, or playground chippings under and around any play equipment.
Regular maintenance, such as checking for loose screws and cleaning the timber, helps keep your climbing frame in top condition, so you can let your children play safely for years to come.
FAQs
What age range can kids play on climbing frames?
The age at which your child can start using an outdoor toy, such as a climbing frame, varies greatly depending on its size and structure. Not only does the size and structure of the frame itself come into consideration, but your child's physical capabilities are also an important factor. You’re the one who knows them best.
It is common for children to acquire the physical abilities -- such as balance, coordination, and strength -- necessary for climbing around age 3. That’s why Outdoor Toys offers a range of climbing frames for gardens suitable for toddlers and children aged 3+.
How can I make a climbing frame safe for my kids?
Long gone are the days of concrete playgrounds - playing outdoors has never been safer. However, young children can be unpredictable. Therefore, it is important to prevent any accidents with a climbing frame by incorporating a few simple safety accessories.
To safe proof your climbing frame and outdoor space, we suggest using these materials:
- Rubberised mats
- Ground anchors
- Chopped bark
- Rubber playground chippings
- Artificial grass
Our products at Outdoor Toys are made using pressure-treated timber, combining the best quality at no extra cost to your child's safety or to the planet.
