Reviews

Explorer climbing frame

"wouĺd be very helpful if the parts where numbered. took sometime to put together. 2 people. once completed. the climbing frame is very sturdy and components are very good quality. . grandson is having so much fun on this climbing fram. highly recommend this company."

Great set

"This has been such a great edition to our garden, both kids aged 6&2 love it and it has been used nearly every day. We were really on the fence about getting a bit piece of equipment but the fact it has already been used so much and it such a high quality has been a pay off in our books. The only slight downside was putting it together, the instructions could have been a tad clearer."

Daniel G. (5/5)

Amazing brand!

"We've just bought this for our grand daughter (nearly 3 but very tall and very confident). We bought the same brand climbing frame and giant swing frame for our own children over 20 years ago, was great to be able to go back for the same quality after all this time. Our grandaughter loves it and can do all of it already. She loves picnics in the tent with her teddies and being a monkey across the bars. We didn't put the bottom ball pit on as we didn't want the grass to die under it and also risk it being used as a cat toilet (our own and others)"

Dawn C. (5/5)

Don’t hesitate to buy!

"We love the Explorer frame with swing and slide! It has changed the way we use our garden, the kids want to be outside more and what’s more is they play independently meaning we can get on with garden jobs or enjoy the sunshine. It was easy to put together with clearly labelled pieces and straightforward instructions. It’s so good our friends want to get one for their kids"

Robyn B. (5/5)

Got there in the end

"Make sure you get all the poles out and separate them as otherwise it gets very confusing. The instructions in relation to the net were confusing, our net isn't on correctly as to fix the problem meant undoing a lot of work. Perhaps mark the ends to annotate which are sides and which are top/bottom. The girls have loved playing in the tented section and sliding down. Sturdy and feels safe."

Anna Q. (4/5)

Fantastic Product

"This product is fantastic. The climbing frame is really sturdy, the den is fun and my granddaughter simply adores it. I won't say it was easy to put together as it took us nearly six hours but it was well worth it and is a super quality item!"

LISA B. (5/5)

Junior explorers

"My grandchildren are loving this climbing frame with monkey bars, rope climb and hideout at the top. It's structure is solid and handles all four of the children clambering over it. I would say this is definitely for children under the age of 10 years. My eldest at 10 is very slight in stature and is fine. But my 8 year old grandchild is very stocky and tall for her age and it does shudder when she climbs over it. But overall it's great fun for the little ones"

Gabriella W. (5/5)

Absolutely fantastic 😊

"It's a great product! The climbing frame is good to build and very straightforward once you lay out all the parts and pieces to match the item sheet in the front of the instructions, it does take some time but it's a very stable and safe product. It comes with ground anchors so you can ensure safety. It's a great size and has loads of opportunities for play. The swing seat is sturdy, but I have put it aside as my little one needs a seat with a back but the seat it comes with will be perfect when he gets bigger!"

Jaymie G. (5/5)

Great piece of kit - once it is put together correctly!

"The product is great and my grandsons love it! We also attached the slide which makes us a great source of entry for the kids in the garden. It would have been 5 stars except that the instructions are somewhat confusing. Maybe they need reviewing, especially when it comes to attaching the small webbing piece."

Philip D. (4/5)

"3 boys age between 5-10 love this climbing frame with den. Great sturdy frame and cool den"

Q&A

Can the ground sand pit/ball pit section be removed in the winter as can imagine it would fill with water/dirt/leaves etc ?
The canvas parts of the explorer can be left outside be we do recommend they are removed in winter months when not during use for further longevity
Does the slide have a hose attachment to turn it into a water slide?
You can purchase this kit https://www.tptoys.com/collections/water-play-all/products/tp-spray-and-splash-water-slide-attachment in order to turn into a water slide
Is the cargo net fixed to the sides so it doesn't slide down? Can it be easily removed by fiddly fingers or in the winter to protect from the weather?
The Cargo net is looped on to the bars to prevent slippage. To remove would involve un-assembling the frame
If anyone has used the pit as a ball pool - how many balls did you use to fill it? Just wondering how many i need to be looking at getting.
The ball pit should take approximately 1000 balls
Does the ground section that can be used as a sandpit have holes in it for drainage?
No the material is sem--permeable
