FAQs

What age is this climbing platform and playhouse suitable for?

This play equipment is designed for children, typically suitable for ages 3 and up, depending on their size and abilities. Always supervise children during play.

Does the climbing frame come treated?

No, the climbing frame is supplied untreated. We recommend applying a suitable wood treatment or stain to protect the timber and enhance its appearance.

What tools are needed for assembly?

Tools required for assembly include a drill, screwdriver, and measuring tape. Please refer to the instruction manual for a complete list.

Can I choose different swing seats?

Yes, the double swing arm allows for a choice of seat options, including two child seats, a child and baby seat, or a child seat with a trapeze bar. These are easily swapped using the clip-on system.

How do I ensure the play equipment is stable?

For stability, play equipment must be anchored. Various anchoring options are available depending on your ground type. Searching for 'Rebo anchors' on the store will show suitable options.

Can the area under the playhouse be used for anything else?

Yes, the open space below the platform is perfect for transforming into a sandpit, offering additional imaginative play opportunities.

How should I clean and maintain the playhouse?

Clean the timber with a damp cloth. It is essential to regularly reapply a wood treatment or sealant to protect the untreated timber from the elements and ensure its longevity.

Troubleshooting

Playhouse or climbing frame feels unstable.

Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened securely. Verify that the unit is properly anchored to the ground according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Check that the ground surface is level.

Swing ropes are difficult to adjust or clip.

Ensure the clip mechanism is clear of debris. If ropes are new, they may require a short period of use to become more flexible. Check that the correct type of seat is being attached to the compatible swing arm.

Wood appears weathered or shows signs of damage.

Reapply a suitable wood treatment or sealant as recommended. Inspect for any structural damage; replace any worn or broken parts immediately. Ensure the unit is adequately protected from prolonged exposure to harsh weather if possible.

Slide or climbing wall sections do not fit together during assembly.

Double-check that you are using the correct parts for the current step as per the instruction manual. Ensure no pieces are warped or damaged. Contact customer support if parts appear to be defective.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly requires tools such as a drill, screwdriver, and measuring tape. It is crucial to follow the included assembly instructions carefully for structural integrity and safety. For optimal stability, it is recommended to anchor the play equipment to the ground using appropriate anchors (sold separately, search for 'Rebo anchors' for options).

Compatibility: The double swing arm is designed to be compatible with various seat options, including two child seats, a child and baby seat, or a child seat paired with a trapeze bar. These accessories feature adjustable soft-feel ropes and an easy clip-on system for simple swapping.

Care: The climbing frame is supplied untreated. To protect the natural timber and prolong its lifespan, apply a suitable wood treatment. You can choose a clear treatment for a natural look or a coloured stain to personalize the playhouse. Regularly inspect the structure for any signs of wear or damage, especially to the ropes, seats, and anchor points. Clean the timber surfaces with a damp cloth as needed, avoiding harsh chemicals.
