I'm thinking of building a climbing frame for our grandson and, while
we can probably come up with some reasonable ideas, some sort of plan
and recommendations for materials etc. would be useful.

Has anyone seen anything like this? It could be just a 'book with
ideas' or, at the opposite end of the spectrum, an actual kit (with,
maybe, buy your own wood).

I'm not sure about wood - splinters could be a problem. Ours is made of
galvanised steel. It was bought for our eldest (born 1981) and it's been
out in the garden all this time. I just examined it with a view to our
grandson using it, and it looks okay.

What kind of scale are we talking, and what age range?

Dunster House (I think are a known outfit within the group for log
cabins and DIY uPVC windows) sell a kit for some monkey bars, or you
could crib from their photos

We have lots of space (9 acres altogether, but the grass around the
house is 1/2 acre or so), so probably what many people would call
large. Age range, he's going to be 4 soon, so 4 on until .....
