FAQs

What tools are needed for assembly?

You will require a drill, screwdriver, and a measuring tape for assembly. We recommend having two people to assist.

Does the climbing frame come treated?

No, the PolarPlay climbing frame is supplied untreated. This allows you to choose your preferred finish, such as a clear sealant or a coloured stain, for both protection and personalization. Application of a wood treatment is highly recommended before use.

What is the maximum weight limit?

The maximum weight limit is 50kg per user.

What are the dimensions of the slide?

The climbing platform includes an 8ft slide.

Can I add a playhouse to the platform?

Yes, the PolarPlay Playhouses are designed to fit on the platform. Other playhouse brands may not be compatible.

How often should I reapply wood treatment?

The frequency depends on your chosen treatment and environmental conditions. Generally, reapplication is recommended annually or when the timber starts to look dry or faded.

What age is this climbing platform suitable for?

While specific age guidance is not provided, it is suitable for children who can safely use climbing walls and slides, keeping the 50kg weight limit in mind.

Troubleshooting

Product wobbles or feels unstable after assembly.

Ensure all screws and bolts are fully tightened. Check that the ground where the platform is situated is level. Re-verify assembly steps against the manual.

Wood appears to be weathering or cracking prematurely.

This can occur if the wood treatment was not applied or has worn off. Reapply a suitable wood treatment and ensure consistent application as recommended by the treatment manufacturer.

Slide seems slow or sticky.

Ensure the slide is clean and free of debris. Check that it is securely attached to the platform according to the instructions. For prolonged issues, consider applying a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for plastic slides.

Sandpit filling with water after rain.

Ensure the sandpit has adequate drainage. If no drainage holes are present, consider drilling a few small holes in the base. A cover for the sandpit can also prevent excessive water ingress.

Compatibility: This climbing platform is designed to accommodate PolarPlay Playhouses, which can be placed on the main platform area. It is not directly compatible with other brands' playhouses or accessories unless specified.

Care: The climbing frame is supplied untreated.

Clean the timber with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals. Regularly check all fixings for tightness and inspect the timber for any signs of wear.
