Has anyone coma across plans for Climbing Frames anywhere?
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). -- Chris Green · |

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. |

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 |

What kind of scale are we talking, and what age range? 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 ..... -- Chris Green · |
