Product Features
The Barrington comes with our 2012 upgraded, supersized, engineered uprights (legs), giving the climbing frame even more stability and strength. The engineered cedar uprights are now 8cm x 8cm and have been developed to give less cracking, checking and twisting than standard pine or spruce larger dimensional lumber. Our new and improved uprights are soft to the touch but super-strong and are free from splinters and sharp edges which could harm delicate hands. The Selwood Products brand is synonymous with safety, fun and family. The Barrington Climbing Frame is part of the Selwood Products Balmoral Series.
The Barrington climbing frame is ideal for anyone looking for a swing set with all the features, but are a little tight on space. The 120cm high play deck is reached by the combination rock wall and from here the kids can zoom down the curved, wavy slide which ends at the front of the frame.
There is a vinyl chalk wall on the 119cm by 90cm play deck too, perfect for a spontaneous doodle. The Barrington features our brand new monkey bar/swing combo beam so that the little ones can have the best of both worlds, without taking up the entire garden. Clipped onto the combo beam are 2 belt swings and a trapeze bar. These are hugely popular with active youngsters and can be easily unclipped when they want to use the monkey bars.
Below the play deck is a play area that, with the addition of a ground sheet and sand, can be easily transformed into a sand pit perfect for younger children. After all the running, climbing, swinging and sliding children may need a little relaxation and this set features a complementary free standing picnic table. Use it for messy play or lunch in the sun. Made from the same cedar wood as the frame, the picnic table complements the Barrington perfectly.
The Barrington 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. Our Climbing Frames are all free standing and cementing them into the ground is unnecessary, but to provide added stability, the Barrington comes with a set of ground stakes, which fix it to the ground.
Please note: the fixings and instruction manual for the Selwood fort and roof will all come in the Balmoral roof box.
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 Barrington includes the following product features:
Curved Slide
Curved slides look great and have a slightly longer ride too! The curved slide is an ideal option for those with a shorter garden as the slide starts from the side of the frame and finishes at the front. Our slides have extra high side rails to help children get onto the slide. 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! This 90 degree curved slide is exclusive to our Selwood Products sets too.
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 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.
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.
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!
Small Garden
A small garden doesn’t at all mean a climbing frame is an impossibility. To make your buying experience that much simpler we have suggested which climbing frames best suit which sized gardens. We completely understand that not everyone has acres and acres of land to fill with outdoor play equipment. It was important to us that we considered those with smaller gardens and because of that we have a range of climbing frames which are ideal for smaller spaces. They are more compact in size yet still have plenty of features to keep the little monsters fully entertained.
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 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.
Wooden
