These engineered cedar uprights are now 8cm x 8cm and have been developed to give a lot less cracking, checking and twisting than in standard pine or spruce larger dimensional lumber. Our brand new uprights are soft to the touch, super-strong and are free from any splinters and sharp edges that could harm your children’s hands. The Selwood Products brand is synonymous with safety, fun and family. The Althorp Deluxe Climbing Frame is part of the Selwood Products Infinity Series.
The Althorp Deluxe is a superbly spacious climbing frame with a huge amount to offer. The kids will be transfixed by this giant frame which showcases our brand new monkey bar/swing combo beam as well as the eye-catching spiral tubular slide.
The play deck is 150cm from the ground and is entirely enclosed to give a real ‘fort’ like feel to it. However it’s the little touches like the dormer window in the wooden roof and the fully functional flowerbox to the front that makes it truly spectacular. The upper playhouse is wonderfully roomy and has an area of 220cm by 110cm which is ideal if you have several children wanting to use the play deck at the same time.
The lower playhouse offers a variety of features for imaginative play - as well as the serving counter style opening and 2 café stools which can be found on the Althorp. It also has an attractive bay window to the front of the frame as well as fully slatted walls all round.
The super spiral slide is 300cm long and promises a thrilling ride. It is an attractive green colour which goes brilliantly with the green detailing on the rest of the set. Once they have zoomed down the spiral side they can climb back up the rockwall which has quirky wave detailing, to their very own balcony. Beneath the balcony is a sand play area which is perfect for younger members of the family who may not be ready for all the climbing just yet.
The Althorp Deluxe showcases our monkey bar/swing beam combo bar perfectly. This is an extremely useful feature which saves space without compromising on safety. With this they can choose from monkeying around on the bars, swinging on 1 of the 2 belt swings or flying on the trapeze bar. To use the monkey bars simply unclip the swings and trapeze bar.
This is a truly spectacular climbing frame with a fabulous range of features. Thanks to the variety of different play features available this set is great for those with an ever growing family. The older children can make the most of the more advanced features and the younger members are kept busy with the simpler ones.
The Althorp Deluxe is manufactured from cedar wood and pre-stained with an attractive redwood stain. The wood is also pre-cut and pre-drilled which helps make home-build as easy as possible. We also supply an illustrated owner’s manual showing you exactly how to build the set. All you’ll need is basic DIY tools.
This climbing frame is designed for children aged between 3 and 10 years of age and is tested (EN-71 & ASTM) to meet requirements for private residential use – this set is not suitable for commercial use.
The Althorp Deluxe includes the following product features;
Monkey Bars
Monkey Bars are great fun as kids love to climb, hang and swing like monkey's, you can buy wooden money bar climbing frames with play equipment or on their own. Monkey bars are a great addition to a climbing frame and our wooden monkey bar set can be added to most of our climbing frame models.
Monkey bars offer the perfect excuse for kids to monkey around while building their core strength and improving their motor skills. Using monkey bars will help children improve their upper body strength, which will help with their posture and physical well being.
Our monkey bar climbers come in two varieties, the stand alone monkey bar, or the combination monkey bar and swings. Both have a ladder at the end, and easy grip rungs long the horizontal monkey climber. The monkey bar's are normally about 1.8m (6ft) from the ground.
Our monkey bars are manufactured from the same quality cedar wood as our climbing frames so they will come with a matching stain and wood finish. You can also be confident that our monkey bars will last, as cedar is resistant to rot, mold and insect infestation. They are specifically designed to be soft to touch so they are gentle on young hands so your children will spend more time enjoying their playset with no worries about splinters.
Our combination monkey bar climbers also offer the opportunity to have swings, or swing accessories attached to the beam too. This offers the opportunity to maximize space in your garden, so if you have a smaller garden you can still have both a swings and a monkey bar so you children get maximum enjoyment from their playset. Safety Notice: We advise Swings & Swing Accessories should be removed from a combination monkey bar swing before using it as a monkey bar.
Ladder
Ladders provide a safe and easy entry into a climbing frame utilising easy grip rungs or flat steps to allow children to safely get up onto the playset deck to access the additional features such as cabin windows, chalk wall, or slide entrance. Step ladders also enable safe exit from a treehouse fort.
Tube Slide
Climbing Frames UK have the best selection of slides available, and nothing comes better than our exclusive enclosed tube slide. This is the crème de la crème of slides, measuring 12ft (3.65m) long this amazing slide takes up minimalspace in your garden but offers an amazing ride for your children! It spirals once in the middle and is flat at the bottom so children end with their feet (and not their bottoms!) on the ground.
1.5m (5ft) High Deck
The 1.52m (5ft) play deck height refers to the distance from the ground to the floor of the deck. Therefore the higher the deck height the further from the ground the deck is, the longer the rockwall to get up, and the slide to ride down.
Which deck height is most suitable for my children?
The higher the height of the deck the more challenging and adventurous the climbing frame becomes. The climb up to the deck is higher and the slide down is longer. The higher deck means that as your children grow they will still be able to get enjoyment from their frame even as they get much older.
One great benefit of purchasing a climbing frame with a 1.5m (5ft) deck height is that the deck size also increases as the deck gets higher. This means the playsets are able to cater to several siblings, and their friends without any problem at all, and as the older ones can still play on it they are kept busy and active too.
Wooden Roof
Climbing frames with fully wooden roofs look amazing in your garden and provide your with a strong sturdy playset that will protect them from sunshine or rain.
Our playsets come with either a vinyl tarp roof, or a fully wooden roof.
Playhouse Package
Climbing Frames UK has a huge range of playsets and wooden climbing frames with fully incorporated wooden playhouse packages. The playhouse is situated directly below the fort play deck, and includes a door, two playhouse windows and a serving wall with two stools.
Medium Garden
Medium gardens make a great home for a whole host of our fabulous climbing frames. However, we do advise that you carefully consider the size of the garden you plan to put the climbing frame in before making your final decision. We have a fantastic range of climbing frames that are ideal for those with medium sized gardens. Climbing Frames UK truly believe you don’t need a huge outdoor space to get a playset full of exciting features.
Large Gardens
Those lucky things with large gardens will be able to make the most of our super-duper larger climbing frames. Although all our playsets have a wonderful range of play features, it makes sense that the bigger playsets can accommodate more features such as the monkey bars. Large gardens are also able to make the most of our wide variety of accessories and additional extras like picnic tables, wooden playhouses or sand tables.
Solid Rockwall
The solid rock wall features multi-coloured climbing rocks and wavy detailing at the edges. This climbing rock wall is great for older children who are up for a challenge! Not only it is fun to use but also has physical benefits such as improving children’s motor skills, hand-eye coordination and upper and lower body strength.
