Frequently Asked Questions

What types of climbing frames are suitable for schools and public parks?

Timberplay offers a wide range of outdoor climbing frames ideal for schools, nurseries, and public play areas. Options like the Climbing Forest, Climbing Loom, and Climbing Stacks promote physical strength, coordination, and social interaction. Designed for different age groups — from toddlers to teenagers — our playground climbing equipment supports developmental play in a safe, durable format.
 

How do I choose the best climbing frame for my outdoor space?

The ideal climbing frame outdoor depends on the available area, age of users, and level of challenge desired. For compact spaces, options like the Small Climbing Pyramid or infant climbing frames work well. For larger areas, our timber climbing structures such as the Large Climbing Pyramid or Climbing Forest offer multi-directional play and can be integrated with slides or bridges. Our Design Team can help assess and tailor the best solution.
 

Are your climbing frames safe for young children?

Absolutely. Our childrens climbing frames are rigorously tested to meet European safety standards EN1176. We offer infant climbing frame options with lower heights and gentle gradients, while our timber materials provide a tactile, natural feel that’s slip-resistant and forgiving. Safety surfacing recommendations are also part of our installation guidance.
 

Do you supply climbing frames with climbing walls?

Yes, many of our products feature integrated climbing frame walls, such as the Climbing Wall with 5 Grips or our hybrid playhouse and climbing frame models. These support full-body movement and enhance the play experience for kids developing balance, grip, and confidence. They’re especially popular in schools looking to create a PE-aligned outdoor activity zone.
 

Can climbing frames be customised or extended later?

Definitely. Our climbing frame sets are modular, allowing for the addition of elements like rope bridges, climbing nets, or tents over time. This flexibility supports phased installation for councils or schools working within limited budgets. It also allows you to adjust the complexity of the climbing structure as children grow.
 

Are your climbing structures suitable for teenagers?

Yes, our climbing playground equipment includes challenging elements like the Climbing Loom and Large Climbing Pyramids, designed specifically for older children and teens. These teenager climbing frames offer greater height, complexity, and social interaction, encouraging active play beyond early childhood. They’re perfect for community parks and secondary school environments.
 

What are the advantages of timber climbing frames over metal or plastic?

Timber climbing frames offer aesthetic appeal, sustainability, and superior sensory feedback compared to plastic or metal. Our Mountain Larch and Robinia timber is weather-resistant and requires no chemical treatment, making it safer for children and the environment. Plus, they blend beautifully into natural or urban landscapes, enhancing the overall space.
 

How do you ensure climbing frames meet safety standards?

All climbing structures are manufactured and installed following European safety standards, including EN1176. Detailed safety assessments, surfacing guides, and structural calculations are part of the process. Our Installation Page explains how we maintain safety across all our climbing equipment.
 

Can your outdoor climbing frames be used in small playgrounds or urban settings?

Absolutely. We offer compact outdoor climbing play equipment that maximises vertical play in tight spaces. Products like the Climbing Stack or smaller Climbing Pyramids are perfect for urban schools, inner-city play areas, and nursery courtyards. Our team will help design for optimal use of space and flow.
 

Do you offer commercial climbing frames for large-scale projects?

Yes. Timberplay supplies commercial climbing playground equipment for parks, housing developments, and large educational institutions. Our climbing playground structures are engineered for high use and long-term durability, making them ideal for municipal and private sector projects.
