Product Information

We’re always happy to advise on suitable products or point you in the right direction, so don’t hesitate to ask if you need help choosing the best all-in-one garden play equipment. Play! Our huge range includes trampolines for all ages, swings and slides, climbing frames,a variety of You could stain the wood a different colour, while still keeping it natural, or paint the structure in your child’s favourite colour. Whichever style you choose, only use non-toxic stains and paints. To achieve a long-lasting colour, you’ll need a water-based paint and undercoat specifically for exteriors.

Clean the surfaces where possible and smooth down any splinters with sandpaper before painting. Apply the undercoat first and allow it to dry before applying the first coat of paint. Allow this to dry before applying the second coat – if the colour isn’t solid enough, you may have to add another coat. All these fantastic features are designed to encourage exciting outdoor play for kids of all ages. Whether for little toddlers who are still learning to engage with their surroundings, or older kids who want to challenge themselves with physical activity, these outdoor climbing frames go a long way in promoting coordination, motor skills and imaginative play. To do this, wait until it’s completely dry, then use a soft brush to remove dirt from the structure. If metal and plastic parts need cleaning, such as swings and slides, use a damp cloth and a mix of soap and warm water to wipe them down. Try to avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals. Look out for vertical constraints like washing lines or overhanging tree branches before you build the climbing frame. These structures can take a lot of time and effort to dismantle and rebuild if you need to move them, and installing them in an unsuitable place can also invalidate the warranty.

OUR PROMISE

Sunlight can also bleach the colour of the wood, so you may want to use a tinted stain if you’d prefer to maintain a particular shade. Look for wood-preserving varnishes that aren’t just waterproof topcoats – avoiding oils and waxes that can make the wood slippery and unsafe for children to climb on. Depending on the wooden climbing frame brand and model you choose, you’ll find a selection of optional extras to extend the play experience – from picnic tables to firefighter poles, bubble windows to crawl tubes, you can create a truly custom playground for your child that they’ll never get bored of.

As long as you look after your Plum play centre, it should last for a very long time. The wood has already been pressure-treated to prevent rot and infestations, but you should still clean your Plum climbing frame any time you notice it getting a bit dirty. You’ll definitely need to apply for planning permission for your climbing frameif you want to build it between your property and a public highway (e.g. in your front garden), or if the structure will take up more than half of your garden. There may be stricter rules if you live in a conservation area. Wherever you position your outdoor climbing frame, there should be a minimum of 2 metres of clear space around it in all directions (including vertically). The ground underneath must be completely flat and even, and compact enough to secure the frame anchors. Be sure to consider the direction of water runoff in your garden, as wet soil can become looser and cause the structure to sink unevenly or rise out of the ground, making it unstable and unsafe to play on. Not only are our climbing frames for kids made of the best materials that can stand up to the Australian weather, but they are also part of a massive collection that gives you and your children the freedom to choose how you want to play. From monkey bars to entire play centres with lookout towers, we at Plum Play® offer climbing frames in a multitude of outdoor play types: As a garden toy, our climbing frames offer kids a safe environment to challenge themselves and enjoy hours of entertainment while benefiting from fresh air and outdoor exposure. They won’t be able to wait to get outside, either by themselves, with siblings or with friends.Refreshing your existing outdoor climbing frame by extending the structure is easier than ever thanks to our selection of climbing frame accessories. You can add and remove compatible elements as and when you choose to make your children’s climbing frame feel new and exciting again as they age, providing more challenging features to engage older children. Your little voyagers can embark on imaginative journeys and epic adventures with our Lookout Tower.

While practising logic and critical thinking to find the best routes and tactics, children also learn how to assess risks. Having the independence to test their limits in a safe and supervised environment will give your child more confidence in new situations and stimulate their sense of adventure.If you do notice mould or mildew on your wooden climbing frame, use a mild bleach solution or fungicidal treatment to target these areas. Bear in mind that these can strip away varnish and cause discolouration, as can pressure washing, so you may have to re-varnish and/or re-paint afterwards. They make this as a basemetal climbing frame and it’s perfect for small gardens on its own or you can add some of the extras on to it if you have a bigger garden. You can get monkey bars (the jungle run) and a slide which make it a much bigger option (can be bought as a whole or separate), but just the base set is excellent on it’s own in my opinion. Fuelled by the young imaginations of children, Plum Play® Climbing Frames allow your child to explore all avenues of active, energy-filled play. Choose from tiny towers for toddlers, fun-filled play centres for aspiring acrobats or hideouts for little adventurers. ... There also needs to be 2 metres of clearance around the structure in all directions. This means there shouldn’t be any other play equipment, trees, plants, washing lines etc within this zone. If you choose equipment that needs to be anchored into the ground, you may have to pour some concrete to follow the instructions for installing the ground anchors.
