Once you have assembled your climbing frame, you will say to yourself that it really wasn’t that difficult. With the assembly manual in front of you and the correct tools to hand you will build the climbing frame in no time. We have diligently prepared everything you need. Each Wickey climbing frame is delivered with all the necessary beams, boards and posts. The 10 mm holes have already been precisely drilled into the climbing frame and you will receive the correct screws from us. Upon purchasing the climbing frame, we will provide you with helpful tips for anchoring it. The recommended ground anchors can be bought additionally from our online shop. In the climbing frame series Hyland, which is also suitable for public use, the ground anchors are actually included. That’s one less DIY worry for you.
With our do-it-yourself climbing frames, you will need to acquire the wood separately – either at the DIY store around the corner or as a wood set from our online shop. The DIY climbing frame is the right purchase for all passionate DIY hobbyists.

To ensure your children can play safely on the climbing frame, the only thing you still need after construction is the perfect floor covering. We recommend soft turf, or even better, play sand or safety tiles.

Have fun on your brand new climbing frame!

A Nest swing to play

April 26th, 2013
Pendulum Tyre Swing Race

Pendulum Tyre Swing Race

Many swing sets offer space for two swing seats. Besides the classic swing seat, we recommend you and your little ones a nest swing.

Compared with a simple swing seat a nest swing is very versatile. Your children can easily sit on it, but they can also stand on it or to stretch like a cat. In a nest swing they are always safe and “in good hands”! Moreover, a nest swing is extremely robust and weatherproof.

Besides the small nest swing, which is only suitable for one person, we also have a large variant, the ” swing seat Big.”With a cross section of about 97 cm, this nest swing offers space for one up to three children (max. 100 kg) to simultaneously swing and play.

Our “Nest Swing Public 100″ is suitable for public use in playgrounds and is GS/TUV certified according to EN 1176.The mammoth rope, of which the nest swing is made, is of course absolutely tear and weather resistant. The nest swing for public use is available in two sizes, namely with a diameter of 100 cm or 120 cm.

The huge swings of our products very much resemble a nest swing. They are also available in different sizes for one or more children.

Both in a nest swing and in all other swing seats it is advisable to put safety mats under it.

Swing variants

April 19th, 2013
Swing set Skyglider 240

Swing set Skyglider 240

Are you wondering, what can be varied in a swing? Well, it starts with the timber, of which the swing is made. For example, a swing can be made of round wood or square wood. Both versions are available in our online shop.

Both variants are highly versatile: the most simple basic model is a double swing, which offers space to two swing seats side by side. Due to our X-Cross swing connection this “basic model” can also be varied. You can slide a stand “in” and get an overhanging beam in which, for example, a rope ladder or a tire swing can hang freely and move in all directions.

But we also offer swings with extra extensions as well. For example, our swing with attached slide (Sky Glider swing) is very popular. Instead of the slide, a climbing net (Sky Net swing ), or a climbing wall (Sky Walker swing) can be attached to the swing. Or you seize the opportunity and buy our Sky Wobbler swing set, which consists of a double swing, a climbing net and slide. Attach the sandbox Sky Digger to the swing now and you already have a small playground.

Similar complex are our play towers, that usually contain a swing.

Additionally, you can individualize the swing with the swing seats from our online shop!

Play set – pirates

April 12th, 2013
Climbing frame Little pirate

Climbing frame Little pirate

The “pirates” theme is perfect for an adventurous play tower. With a few accessories and a special name a simple play set changes into a pirate world.

This happens with our play tower Pirates Nest. The “pirates’ nest” consists of a climbing tower with play house. The little pirates can reach the upper platform with a ladder; going down is easier with a slide. Expand your play tower with pirate fort with a swing later.

Also our play set Captain Hook’s Ship picks up the theme “pirates”. The play set, in the shape of a ship contains two climbing walls, a slide, a climbing pole and a swing. While playing on the play set your little pirates will especially enjoy the large sail, the pirate steering wheel and binoculars.

The play set Bluebeard’s Pirate ship looks very similar. See for yourself which model suits you best. Later, you can extend these two play sets with modules as well , for example with an additional climbing net or the Xtra-Brigde, a wobbly bridge.

You can also adorn your play set afterwards with special pirate-deco: just buy our Pirate sticker set and decorate the slide, play tower, mailbox and Xtra-Lift with pirate patterns.

And then it’s “cast off!” and “ready to board!” for all adventurous pirates. The garden is an ocean and the play set an unsinkable pirate ship or the headquarters of lawless little scoundrels.

A climbing frame with climbing wall

April 4th, 2013
Climbing frame Wickey Captain Woodfoot

Climbing frame Wickey Captain Woodfoot

When a climbing frame has a climbing wall, it quickly becomes one of our climbing towers. For your children they are a real challenge. For climbing the wall of the climbing frame requires not only courage and strength. A climbing wall also requires skill and cleverness so that your children can choose an achievable route to the platform of the climbing frame at the start of their “climb.

Most Wickey climbing frame models are equipped with a climbing wall. Even our entry-level model, the Harry’s Magic Tower, has a climbing wall.”Our larger play sets, such as Captain Hook’s Ship of the Wickey play set Santa Maria, are already equipped with two climbing walls. One climbing wall with climbing rocks and one with a climbing rope.

A climbing frame can also have further climbing elements, such as a rope ladder that swings freely on a Multi-Beam or a climbing net enabling rapid climbing. A fireman’s pole arouses the desire to climb as well and at the same time provides an additional opportunity to quickly leave the platform.

Perhaps the climbing frame with climbing wall will be the basis for a future hobby. You teach your children to deal with climbing rocks and they will soon wish to try a climbing wall in a climbing gym. But practicing takes place on the climbing set in the garden!

Security check on the climbing frame

March 27th, 2013
Wickey TwinFlyer

Wickey TwinFlyer

When the climbing frame is built, and before your children start playing on it, you must perform a security check on your climbing frame.

Is the climbing frame installed correctly and according to the installation instructions? We recommend you not to skip the mounting instructions, because otherwise the stability and security are at risk.

Do you have all the poles anchored into the ground? Use ground- and pile-anchors to anchor your climbing frame safely and permanently into the soil. Only then will playing on the climbing frame be safe. We will show you on the information page “play safe” at which places on the climbing frame the anchor points need to be fixed.

Are there dangers in the vicinity of the playground equipment? It is necessary to create a “safety zone” around the climbing frame in which there are no stones or other obstructions. Keep in mind that your little ones not only play on the climbing frame but also around it!

If my children fall, will they have a cushioned landing? Around the climbing frame, the ground must be covered with soft ground material. Sand is ideal. However, you can also lay down protective mats. For example, these mats can be under the slide, climbing rope, climbing ladder, the swing and at the foot of the climbing wall.

Regarding the wood of your Wickey climbing frame, you don’t have to worry because it is impregnated. Of course you should regularly clean and maintain the climbing frame, but it is protected against pests and wood-rot.

Climbing frame quality is very important for Wickey

March 6th, 2013
Climbing Frame Wickey

Climbing Frame Wickey

By which features can make you convinced that a Wickey climbing frame is characteristically high quality?

Stability and safety for one!

We guarantee the safety of your children while they are playing. Not only by tested construction methods, but also by the anchoring of the climbing frame solidly into the ground. While all necessary ground anchors are already included with the “Hy Land” climbing frame series, we would also like to show you the various possibilities of anchoring other playground items which are available in our online shop.

The matching hand grips, caps for protruding screws, as well as stable screws for the main connections of the climbing frame are also provided for each climbing frame.

The beams of the climbing frame are,of course, solid as a rock.

Durability

When the climbing frame is fixed and stable, it can be used daily for many many years. The child-friendly impregnation of the wood protects the climbing frame from mold, fungus and pests. Of course, you should take care of the climbing frame regularly and clean it regularly.

Enviromentally Friendly

We use only wood from sustainable forests with the FSC and PEFC seal.  The wood protection salt, which is used for the impregnation of the wood of the climbing frame, is also plant friendly.

Design

And most importantly – the fun, being child-friendly, and above all the versatile design of our climbing frames speaks for itself and the quality of Wickey.

Because we are convinced of the quality and durability of our climbing frames, we will give you a 10-year warranty on them.

A climbing frame that grows with your children

February 25th, 2013
Climbing Frame Wickey Harrý Magic Tower

Climbing Frame Wickey Harrý Magic Tower

It’s a nice thought that in the long term you are not bound to one particular model of Wickey climbing frame! Begin easily with a less extensive climbing frame since it is 100% modular! In plain language: If you decide to buy the climbing frame “Tiki Tower” today, this does not mean that you always have a climbing frame with only one slide, a climbing wall and a rope ladder. Because next year, if you have slightly more space in the garden for example, you can build a double swing onto the climbing frame. Later on, a basketball hoop, a climbing net, a second sandbox, a horizontal bar or even a shaky bridge.

At any time, you can exchange the telescope and the steering wheel of the climbing frame for a chalk board, a telephone or a colorful flag. The accessories for each climbing frame are extensive.

The swing can be exchanged, depending on the age and abilities of your child, to a baby swing, a normal swing, gymnastic or a nest swing.

The climbing frame will grow with your children. When your kids interests change, you can also change the climbing frame. The Knight’s Castle, for example, can quickly and easily be transformed into a police station, and the small “aunty Emma-shop” will become a cool pirate ship…

A climbing frame set – the very special toy

February 14th, 2013
Climbing Frame Captain Blue with Slide

Climbing Frame Captain Blue

A Wickey climbing frame device stands for versatile and varied play fun. Unlike a single swing or sandbox, a climbing tower contains several play sets. The focus – as the word “climbing frame” suggests – is on climbing possibilities for little adventurers. There is a climbing ladder, climbing pole, climbing wall with climbing rocks or a rope ladder. To compensate for quite tiring climbing accessories, a Wickey climbing set is usually equipped with a sandbox and slide. After a wild scramble your kids can relax in the shade while building a sand castle.

Would you like to know different climbing frame models ? Let us introduce you to two chosen climbing: sets.

Wickey climbing frame set Harry’s Magic Tower+ is not only an economical climbing tower, but particularly suitable for smaller gardens with little space for a climbing device as well. Climbing wall and rope ladder are a challenge for your kids. From the platform of the climbing tower they will have a little “command center” with binoculars and a steering wheel.

Climbing Frame set Wickey Wave Catcher is already a small playground. Two climbing platforms are connected to a suspension bridge. Your little adventurers can take up the challenge with a climbing net, climbing wall and a rope ladder. A double swing, slide and sandbox promise great play fun .A very special climbing frame set!

Wickey climbing tower variants

February 5th, 2013
Climbing Tower Fire Station

Climbing Tower Fire Station

In our climbing tower range it is always exciting/thrilling! This year we have added new variants to our climbing towers. Little Dora and the funny Spongebob have helped us.

See for yourself which climbing tower you like best:

Play set Dora’s Jungle Hotel is a combination of a play house and a climbing tower. To climb, a climbing net and two climbing ladders are available. A canopy, sign or a flag turn the play set into a hotel or a little shop, which your little ones, with the help of Dora ,are definitely going to lead successfully.

This play set comes also in a Spongebob pattern: The Krusty Krab play set seems to be sprung straight out of the underwater world of SpongeBob.

The playset Dora’s Ship and the Flying Dutchman invite you to climb as well. In this case, with two climbing walls with a rope ladder, climbing rope, climbing pole and climbing rocks.

The play towers Spongebob’s Treehouse and Dora’s Treehouse combine climbing elements (climbing wall with climbing rope, climbing wall with climbing rocks, rope ladder and fireman’s pole) with other popular/beloved play sets. The play sets can be expanded with a climbing net later on.

But any other climbing tower can easily be turned into a climbing set with Spongebob or Dora look.

For this you only need the sticker set Dora or Spongebob and you can quickly and easily decorate your climbing set with the wide selection of stickers.
