Brilliant climbing frame

"Lovely climbing frame, the instructions were abit confusing as the steps were abit hard to read, the bars on the den part could do with labels for each part as I put some in the wrong areas as didn't know which one to use but with abit of help from a family member who already built it I got it sorted quite easily. It's a lovely frame and my kids love using it. It's a shame you can't make it abit taller in size by 3 levels, but will be buying the next accessories at some point soon so my youngest has monkey bars higher up, she's 7 but quite tall so touches the floor with the one attached to this frame. Overall an amazing buy, can't wait add to it some more ☺️"

Kids LOVE it

"Instructions are easy enough to follow, took around an hour and half on my own (with kids after things) they love it and will be adding to it in future when they are a little older, we also got the seesaw thats equally as fun for them."

— Emma W. (5/5)

Fantastic

"Bought as a gift for my 4 year old. Had two hours to build it between bed time and it getting dark! I managed the main frame by myself. Got help for the second half. Overall pretty easy! Make sure you measure the poles as they all look the same, I made the mistake of putting the wrong lengths on and having to re do a few!! 4 year old loves it but my 2. 5 year old loves it even more!! Brilliant climbing frame, hours of fun already had (5 days in) and I think it’ll last them several years"

Explorer climbing frame

"The kit was erected in around 2 hours by son and son in law. Grandchildren love it. It is sturdy and well put together and looks attractive in the garden. Good value."

— Rosemary W. (5/5)

2. 5yr old enjoys it

"Perfect for adventurous toddler. Bought for 2. 5yr granddaughter and she is able to climb and slide independently. I like the fact we will be able to add other products to the frame. This sets it apart from a similar but cheaper model. I can see we will get use out of this for a few years. The instructions to assemble the frame were ok. A good couple of hours required & don't tighten the screws too early. ."

We’re so pleased with the

"We’re so pleased with the climbing frame we ordered from TP Toys for our son’s 4th birthday. The delivery was fast and free, which was a great start, and everything arrived in perfect condition. The instructions were clear and it was surprisingly easy to assemble. The quality is amazing — really sturdy, safe, and built to last. Our son absolutely loves it, and it’s been a huge hit with all his friends too. It’s already provided hours of fun and outdoor play. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase and would highly recommend TP Toys to anyone looking for high-quality outdoor play equipment."

— Rebecca W. (5/5)

Great climbing frame

"We got the climbing frame and monkey bars for a 7 and 5 year old. It has been great, they play on it every day. Took about 3 hours for 2 people to put together. Read the instructions as it's easy to miss out key elements and then you need to undo previous parts. Well made and sturdy. Would recommend."

— Christine M. (5/5)

Climbing frame

"A lot of parts to put together quiet fiddly but nice and sturdy and the bairn loves it so all in all good purchase"

"Ideal climbing frame for our 4yr old to enjoy now & for years to come."

The aliens have landed in the garden!!

"The aliens have landed in the garden!! Will the grandchildren be excited. No doubt they will! A safe hide out for them to play in this spring, summer and autumn. As the nights grow darker towards the end of the year the den will be magically transformed with lights and soft blankets. A big thank you. My only regret was not buying the monkey bar frame to go with it! I keep checking to see if there are any offers for this as on the day I ordered it I didn't think carefully and the cost of getting it was not within my budget. Fingers 🤞"
