Product Features
The Woodchester is a great looking climbing frame which will sit elegantly in any garden. It features our 2012 engineered uprights (legs). These are upgraded and supersized to offer even greater stability and strength. They are now 8cm x 8cm and have been developed to give much less cracking, twisting and checking than in standard pine or spruce larger dimensional lumber. As well as being super strong they are also soft to the touch and are free from splinters, sharp edges or deep cracks that could harm little hands. The Selwood Products brand is synonymous with safety, fun and family. The Woodchester is part of the Olympia series.
The fully wooden roof not only looks gorgeous it offers protection from rain and sun so children can play to in all weathers. Our wooden rooves are also renowned for their durability. Covered by the wooden roof is the 119cm x 90cm upper play deck which features a vinyl chalk wall. From the 120cm high play deck little ones can zoom down the straight wavy slide. Our slides have high railed sides to keep children safely in place and flattened out bottoms to make sure they land on their feet and not in the mud. To reach the play deck there is a slatted rock wall ladder. The great thing about the slatted rock wall is that more accomplished climbers can use the professional style moulded rocks, and less confident climbers can use the gaps between the slats to put their feet on.
Another fantastic feature is the monkey bar swing beam. Children love playing on monkey bars but sometimes there just isn’t room in the garden for swings and monkey bars. Not anymore. The 2 belt swings and trapeze bar simply clip onto the monkey bars when children want to play on them and unclip when they want to monkey around on the monkey bars. As if that wasn’t enough there is also ample space below the play deck for a sand play area. Simply add a ground sheet and some sand. This is perfect for younger members of the family who may not be able to master the rest of the climbing frame just yet but still want to join in on the fun.
The Woodchester 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 Woodchester 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 Olympia 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 Woodchester 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
