Product Features
The Highlander Wooden Climbing Frame is an impressive playset that will look simply marvellous in any garden. The frame has a multi-level playhouse covering a whopping 4 tiers. This set is so varied and so multi-functional your children will never get bored of it. The Highlander is part of our impressive Creations Series.
On the lowest tier is the integrated picnic table which seats 2 children. The second tier is reached by the stepladder at the rear of the frame and inside the playhouse there are two further stepladders to get to the higher floors. The solid rock wall at the front of the frame is used to access the third tier and is great for older children as it offers a more challenging climb. From this tier the kids can ride the super speedy 3m straight wavy slide.
The playhouse is covered by two wooden rooves which both have attractive sunburst detail on the outer sides. This is a truly breath-taking playset with a huge amount of deck space. Cleverly all the decks have been put on different levels, minimising the space the climbing frame takes up in the garden but maximising the climbing and clambering for the children. As well as all this there is of course 2 belt swings and a 2 child glider. This set is ideal if you have several children. It is spacious enough for them to all play on at once and diverse enough to keep them all occupied.
The Highlander 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 Highlander comes with a set of ground stakes, which fix it to the ground.
This 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 Highlander 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 yard, 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 in our swing sets, range.
