Product Features
The Ridgeview Texas climbing frame has everything the kids could possible wish for. It has a range of features perfect for zooming around and having fun on as well as an area dedicated to keeping their batteries charged.
The lower playhouse is completely enclosed with small windows to the front and a large serving hatch at the side with 2 café stools attached to the outside. This is where they can rest and recuperate if they get tired from all the excitement.
To get up to the 120cm high play deck the kids can either use the slatted rock wall, which has multicoloured climbing rocks, or the monkey bars. Monkey bars are a firm favourite with the little ones and the positioning of these ones, at the rear of the frame, means your garden doesn’t have to be huge to accommodate them. The play deck has a vinyl chalk board which will allow the kids to doodle away until they’re ready to take the plunge down the 220cm straight, wavy slide.
The frame has a 3-position swing beam with 2 belt swings and a 2 child glider. This is great if you have several children wanting to use the playset at the same time.
The Ridgeview Texas 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 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 Ridgeview 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
