Looking for climbing frame with swings and slide for my 2 kids and personally think this is good price for what it is. Only 4 days left at this price.
Hot or not I will give it a try.

I bought one of these and it is very high quality, had it 3 years and its still like new. They are very expensive but the quality of the wood and the treatment is important. Don't buy cheaper ones. We also bought a wendy house on stilts with a smaller slide, it was from another supplier and was cheaper, its now falling to bits. Be aware, they are very complicated to put together and take several days. I would highly recommend this company.

Do you think a "small" adult could sit on the swing. say 70-80kg?
I want to get one for my kids but I also want to use the swing!

from desciption...This playset is designed for children aged between 3 and 10 years of age (inclusive) who individually weigh no more than 50kg (110lbs)

I have my set from Selwood. Occasionally I sit on it or show kids how they can swing by themself without me having to push them. I also weight 80 kg. Its well made and the frame should withstand your weight if youre not going to overdo it.

made of cedar, not cheaply pine so price isn't even that high considering that.
Great thank you so much. Been looking at these and almost paid 300 for a second had one. This is perfect. Quick question, does anyone have the baby swing? My youngest is 2 so wondering if she will fit in it

Im pretty short but dont qualify for dwarf status hehe!
I guess other thing is would be nice to be able to sit and hold my baby while on it ... which is the reason I should have put instead of implying its really for me haha.

Definitely want this but have concerns about the height, do you need permission from the neighbours with it being higher than fence height?

Are you for real lol... No you don't need permission

Thanks op, been looking for one & this fits the bill perfectly for my 2 boys. Bought!

No you dont. this is not a house extension or otherwise so will not need any permission what so ever from neighbours

swaying between a 1.2 or 1.5 platform. Does it make that much of a difference for the 30cm.

oh these are adorable! Does anyone know if this site has regular sales on the playsets or is this a rare chance?

do you have to put these on soft ground to be stable. i have a tarmac area how would you fix it in place for safety.

Yep I know it sounds daft but he's one of those that if there was a reason to get me to take it down he would.
Fence is 6 foot so a few feet over but I don't see it as a major issue.
Seen the bigger version of this in Costco and the quality looks superb

Assembly manual page 37 is about attaching ground stakes that need to be driven about 10 inches deep in ground.Hope that helps.

ok thanks, wonder if there's attachments to go under tarmac i.e. metal etc. ill contact them.

You do need planning permission, these have a raised platform more than 30cm above the ground so do not qualify under permitted development.
I'm sure 99% of people don't bother, and searching locally the two (retrospective, following complaints) applications have been granted. But there are reports in the media of other councils' taking enforcement action after neighbour complaints.

Yep, bought the baby swing a couple of weeks ago actually and our 18 month old boy adores it! :-)

I reckon any child's play centre designer worth his salt would've taken in to account the recent upsurge in childhood obesity and accounted for that sort of weight in their calculations.

The one on eBay is cheap rubbish from a really poor company, cannot comment on this one definitely avoid the eBay one

Will the stakes go through Astro turf and if so will they wreck it or just make small holes
eudriver
16 May 16#36
These are made of wood 1 1/4inch x 1 1/2inch so the holes will probably be same in size.

YES you do need planning permission, did I or anybody else that erected something like this get it? almost certainly NO but that doesn't change the fact that it does require it so stop just guessing and insulting the guy for a serious question.
myself I would put it up anyway, IF a neighbour complains to the council and IF they send you a letter requiring planning permission then just retroactively apply for it and you will almost certainly get permission but you will have to pay the fee making this not such a cheap deal.

It's not only height, it's also distance from the fence from what I remember - which is the reason why we stuck ours in the middle of the garden instead of tucked away next to the fence.

I spotted this at the weekend, and have been toying with ordering it, but now it's sold out now unfortunately! they have another one on offer now for £249, but it doesn't have the play kitchen which was a real selling point for us.

Just have to ask, do you all have massive gardens? I looked at the safety zone needed around this with no obstructions, and it needs to be ~10m x 8m!!

The one you've bought (if you've got the £299 one) is the same as the one in the link and has monkey bars...

this one has monkey bars! so will probably last longer in terms of use for older kids.

What is everyone going to install this over? Grass? Playbark?

Ordered the prime one, think it's better suited to our needs and for £249 plus it includes the £40 baby seat at that price. Fab!

Same here, just placed our order...going to be fun building it!
Also, found this earlier Identical but different brand

Mine will be delivered on Tuesday so from Wednesday starting to build it- hope to finish before weekend. The one from link is nice due to having monkey bars but price of £519 is a bit to high in my opinion.

My deal was about Adelaide climbing frame without monkey bars with wooden bench for 299 (Adelaide) and now there is a Brookbridge(Brookbridge) with monkey bars and two plastic seats but without wooden bench and mini kitchen same as one with link you provided :smile: BTW - just got delivery :smiley:
Sparco100
24 May 16#54
Right, that makes more sense now :-)
That one would probably have been even better in our garden than the Brookridge but i'm sure that one wasn't on offer when we looked.
Trying to sort a date for delivery on ours now...can't wait
