The double-sided rock wall proved to be a massive hit and the preferred way of accessing the tower platform when we tested with some young volunteers. This set also has the monkey bar extension as yet another great activity to keep the kids entertained. Made from pressure-treated timber, these sturdy climbing frames are built to last and will provide years of joy while being a great way for children to keep fit and healthy as they burn off that excess energy they always seem to have. The climbing tower has the vertical rock climbing wall as well as a wooden ladder to access the slide platform and an 8ft slide made from durable injection-moulded plastic. The Rebo range of wooden adventure playsets are available with a choice of swing configurations, enabling you to find the perfect climbing frame for your family. For stability, play equipment must be anchored; various options are available depending on the ground type. Searching Rebo anchors on the store will show you the options.
The Rebo Wooden Climbing Frame - El Capitan+ is designed for active children aged 3 and up, offering a fun and engaging way to develop physical fitness and coordination. Its key benefit lies in its multi-activity design, providing climbing, sliding, and monkey bar challenges. A minor caveat is that proper anchoring is essential for stability, and this must be purchased separately based on ground type.
