PLEASE NOTE, THE GLIDER IS CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH - WE WILL SHIP THIS PIECE SEPARATELY TO YOU AS SOON AS IT ARRIVES
The Ascot climbing frame is packed full of exciting features. Those lucky enough to play on this climbing frame can clamber up to the 120cm high play deck via the slatted rock wall (situated at the rear of the frame), peer out of the tower and look over the whole garden, whizz down the straight, wavy slide and run around to the swings . They have the choice of two belt swings and a glider swing to while away the hours on.
The monkey bars are a highly sought after feature and add a whole other play element to the Ascot. These are great for teaching children co-ordination and motor skills whilst offering them a fun challenge. If they want a little rest after all that excitement, they can take a break up on the 119cm by 90cm play deck, maybe do some drawings on the vinyl chalk wall or have a snack and a drink at the integrated picnic table.
Below the play deck there is ample space to create a sand play area with the simple addition of a ground sheet, this is perfect for younger children.
The Ascot playset 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 Ascot includes the following product features;
Straight Slide
Straight slide with an added wave for a thrilling descent! Our sides have extra high rails at the top of slide to help children get onto the slide and help prevent any falls. The bottom of the slide is flatter, to help children end with their feet (and not their bottoms!) on the ground. No more bumps and bruises and no more grass stains! The slides are made of durable, green plastic - a perfect colour choice during the summer as it won't attract the bugs! We have also reinforced the rear of our slides to make them extra strong, and to easily stand up to children running the wrong way up them!
Rockwall Ladder
This slatted rock wall ladder offers the best of both worlds for little climbers. For those who are feeling a little more adventurous, the moulded plastic climbing rocks are a natural choice for a daring climb. For those with a little less confidence, then the spaces between the ladder slats will provide an easier ascent to the top! The spaces between the slats are also easy to climb down - ideal if the queue for the slide is too long! Our rockwall ladders are a combination to ensure that all ages of children can enjoy them and maximise their use from the playset.
Monkey Bars
Monkey bar ladders are a great addition to a climbing frame and offer the perfect excuse for kids to monkey around while building their core strength and improving their motor skills. Our monkey bar climbers come in two varieties, the stand alone monkey bar, or the combination monkey bar ladder 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 6ft from the ground, but this will vary depending on the playset model and will be detailed in the product description.
1.2m (4ft) High Deck
The 1.22m (4ft) 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?
We suggest that the taller your children are the higher your deck should be, and it is also important to remember that the higher the deck the more use your children will get out of the climbing frame as they get older.
The 4ft deck is our most popular deck height as it is a fantastic comprimise between being a sensible height for smaller or younger children, and still high enough to keep older children amused.
2-Child Glider
The glider swing allows two children to ride back-to-back and is compatible with all of our Selwood Products playsets. Brilliant news for those with a smaller garden but with more than two children! Naturally, it can also be used by just one child too! Made of yellow and green plastic, the glider complements your climbing frame wonderfully enabling multiple children to play together, and to offer a safe and secure swing to use before children can swing on their own normal swing seat.
Vinyl Roof
Climbing Frames UK range of playsets and climbing frames come with either a durable, water-resistant and UV-resistant tarp roof, or a fully wooden roof. The tarp's are usually found on smaller,cheaper playsets, and provide protection through the summer months from the sun so the kids can enjoy the warm weather without running the risk of getting burnt. The tarp is also water-resistant so the kids can take cover during scattered showers!
Sandpit Area
Climbing Frames UK have a huge range of playsets and wooden climbing frames with a sand pit area below the fort deck. Simply add a weed suppressant membrane and some bags of play sand and you'll have a fantastic sandbox for your children to play in.
Picnic Table
Picnic tables are great to include with a playset because they provide the opportunity to relax in addition to play. It's great to be able to stop for lunch without having to try and drag the kids into the house, and can provide opportunity to sit and talk, colour, paint and play cames with siblings or friends.
Chalk Wall
Drawing is the perfect way to encourage a child's creativity, and what better way than have a vinyl chalk wall on your playset from Climbing Frames UK! And with such a wonderful view as that from the top of the playhouse, who wouldn't want to draw it? The vinyl chalk wall is easy to wipe clean, so your little Monets and Rembrandts can keep their creative juices flowing!
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.
Swings
Swings have been around forever and everyone remembers enjoying swings from their childhood, whether it be playing at the park, or a tyre or rope in the tree at home, we all seem to have fond memories. Playing with siblings and friends, swinging across ditches or spinning round-and-round.
When sat on, our flexible belt swing seats grip the hips and provide a comfortable and supportive seat for your child as they swing. They are also designed to clip on and clip off should you wish to swap them with either a baby bucket or a trapeze.
