Reviews

I’m very pleased with the

"I’m very pleased with the product. There was a slight problem with the monkey bars. I contacted customer service and the issue was resolved very quickly. This climbing frame has replaced an old ld tp frame he’d had since he was 2. He is now 9 years old. My grandson loves his new explorer metal frame. I would recommend to others"

— Margaret W. (5/5)

We got this for our

"We got this for our outdoor living son to burn some energy off when we can’t get to the park. He loves climbing up it and hanging out in his ‘den’. As he grows, we’ll definitely be purchasing the bolt on components. It’s great that the the basic frame can grow with the kids."

— Lorelei D. (5/5)

Excellent

"We went from a wooden frame to this metal one and could not be better. My daughter loves this so much , lots to choose from to do and we also attached the slide as the frame comes with a slide attachment and also bought the monkey bars to attach too. Great product can tell it will last years. We have the matching ufo swing set too and together the set looks great in the garden. We went for the green blue style and it’s lovely"

Kids love it

"Our kids absolutely love this, and once it's built and pegged into the ground it feels really sturdy and solid. I will say though, we found it really tricky to build. Some parts of the instructions weren't that clear, and it's one of the most awkward things we've ever put together. It was worth it, as the kids adore it however I would never want to build one again!"

— Alice S. (4/5)

Excellent.

"I bought the climbing frame to replace a smaller slide. My son is four and it’s perfect for him with room to grow; it’s easy to climb up and the den is really exciting for him. We’ve yet to install the bars as assembly was a little tricky - not impossible but did require us to be uber organised with measuring some of the poles as not all were labelled. No issues with the screws. That being said, my son loves it and worth every penny and challenge."

— Charlotte D. (5/5)

Excellent value for money

"Bought this for my grandchildren aged 2-6. They love it. Easy to put together and extremely pleased with it. My only gripe is the advertised 48 hour delivery which meant I placed the order for when my grandchildren were away to give me time to put it together. This turned out to be 4 days as the delivery company don’t work weekends. Which is fine but this needs to be clear when ordering. Otherwise everything else lovely."

— Judy L. (5/5)

Fantastic climbing frame

"This has been worth every penny spent on it. My grandson is non verbal profoundly autistic and he loves this so much. It’s really helped regulate him and give him a safe space to rest in it’s been lovely to see how much happiness it’s bought him and his baby sister couldn’t recommend anything better hopefully will be adding to the frame with slide and monkey net and rails."

— Jennifer W. (5/5)

Great First Climbing Frame!

"We had one of these for our kids many years ago and now we’re getting one for our grandkids! We know it will last. Ordering and delivery was easy. We thought the construction information could have been clearer - hence only 4 stars."

— Liza C. (4/5)

Great for kids

"Took a while to build as only a couple of pieces were marked once we worked it out took around 2 hours. I have 5 year old twins who are totally different so have a climber and a quieter one so its great for both while one is climbing the other can sit in the tent bit. Would definitely recommend"

Fab climbing frame set

"Fab climbing frame kit and great price! It took 2 of us to build it and about 3 hours. Our son loves it and the fact he has a den now too. Provides all day entertainment as it’s versatile. I’ve added rubber tape to the steps and swing to add grip. Also added adhesive zips so the doors can be fixed shut :)"

Q&A

Can you attach a giant nest swing to the added swing set on the climbing frame? Instead of the single seat?
No, the Giant nest swing requires two spaces for it to be used.
What is the difference between the blue and black climbing frame . Is it the size ? Or the fact the black comes with the ball pit ?
Black has three entrance points so three accessories can be added instead of just the two on the blue explorer and yes, the black comes with the added ball pit.
Does the climbing frame require any anchorage for stability?
Yes the frame is supplied with ground anchors
It says it has the shaded play area… does that mean the actual material but that holds the balls/sand. The black one has a picture with it, but the blue one doesn’t. Just wanted to make sure.
It is only the black frame that has the ball pit underneath
Do u sell the tent/ den separately plz
Yes we do here https://www.tptoys.com/collections/climbing-frame-accessories-explorer/products/tp-explorer-replacement-den but iut is curretnly out of stock until Spring 2022
