The Blaise Climbing Frame is part of the Selwood Products Oriana Series.
The Blaise comes with our 2012 upgraded, supersized, engineered uprights (legs), giving the climbing frame even greater stability, strength and a stunning aesthetic. These engineered cedar uprights are now 8cm x 8cm and have been developed to give much less cracking, checking and twisting than in standard pine or spruce larger dimensional lumber. Our new uprights are soft to the touch, super-strong and are free from splinters, sharp edges or deep cracks that could harm your children’s hands. The Selwood Products brand is synonymous with safety, fun and family.
The Blaise climbing frame is a multi-functional playset and comes with plenty to keep your children occupied as well as a café style area for them to rest in between sliding, swinging and climbing.
With its yellow and green, UV-resistant tarp roof, your children can play come rain or shine. Beneath the 120cm high play deck is a partially enclosed canvas lower playhouse. This is the perfect place for them to catch their breath and play shops or restaurants. The two café style seats are great little extras and give the playset yet another function.
The play deck is 119cm by 90cm and can be accessed by the combination rockwall ladder. This has professional style climbing rocks as well as wooden slats with clever little gaps between each slat to enable younger children to climb the ladder. Once they have climbed up to the deck, your budding climbers will find a vinyl chalk wall in a perfect position for sketching the wonderful view. The Blaise climbing frame has a 220cm straight slide which features a wave in the middle for an exciting ride.
The frame also has two belt swings, which grip the hips and keep little ones from slipping off, and a glider which are all attached to the innovative monkey bar/swing combo beam. This is a fantastic space saver which gives you a wide range of features without causing you to compromise on the space the frame takes up.
Manufactured from high quality cedar wood and pre stained with an attractive redwood stain, the wood is pre-cut and pre-drilled which helps make home-build as easy as possible. There is also an illustrated owner’s manual showing you exactly how to build the set. All you need is basic DIY tools.
The Blaise 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 Blaise 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!
Café Counter
The café counter is an open serving hatch situated underneath the play deck.
Why would I buy a climbing frame with a café counter?
The café counter is a great way to broaden your child’s imagination. It adds a whole new element to your playset and once they are worn out swinging and sliding they may want to play shops or restaurants.
Anyone who has children knows that they jump from one game to another and one toy to another, so the cafe counter enables them to incorporate creative and imaginative play into their playset.
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.
Wooden
Wooden outdoor toys look fantastic in your garden, and have a huge range of price points available so there's something sure to be available for anyone.
Wood is so versatile, there's a great selection of products available, including climbing frames, swing sets, playhouses and accessories.
