Maintaining Your Climbing Frame
My climbing frame has been installed, what do I do next?
A: If your climbing frame was installed in a grassed area the installers have concreted the frame
into the ground. They have left a small exposed hole, where the posts have been sunk into the
ground. The reason this has been done is to allow the concrete to set overnight. Before allowing
the children to play on the climbing frame, please ensure that the sods of grass have been
replaced over the holes to leave the ground flush around the posts. Please do not allow your
children to play on the climbing frame until the sods of grass have been put back.
Q: How should I maintain my Climbing Frame?
A: There are many customers whose Climbing frames last for years as a result of simple steps taken
to ensure the wood's longevity. The timber used on your climbing frame has been pressure treated.
This essentially means that it has been put into a pressurised vessel and has been impregnated with
wood preserve. With time and due exposure to weather conditions the colour fades away. We
suggest you treat the wood once every 2 years (completely optional). Not only will this keep it
looking ‘lively’ but will also help it last as long as possible.
Q: What kind of stain should I use?
A: We used a water-based treatment when we made the products. You can use a water-based or oil-
based stain at your discretion. However, once you switch to oil you will not be able to return to
water-based from that point forward. Your local home improvement, hardware or DIY store will
have plenty of options and suggestions for you.
Q: What else should I do?
A: We suggest you check bolt tightness and all hardware periodically to ensure everything is in
proper order.
We hope you enjoyed the challenge of the build and hope the children get years of enjoyment out of
their new frame.
