A climbing frame is this summer's must-have garden accessory for the under 10s. Now you've sorted out a hot tub for yourself and secured a swingball set to help you keep fit at home by means of whacking a ball on a string really hard, it's time to stop your kids climbing up the walls, and get them climbing up a frame instead.
If you’ve got children who are getting a little bit tetchy cooped up inside and you’re lucky enough to have a garden to keep them safe, then what about a tree house-style climbing frame? No budget, or no garden? A swing isn't a bad alternative.
There are many different types of climbing frames ranging from the ridiculously over the top wooden structure you see before you through to more humble constructions for the smallest of gardens.
As with everything else currently, stock is running low on a lot of items; but we’ve managed to track down some great options.
