The Bayberry Playhouse

April 26th, 2012

At Climbing Frames Australia, we think one of the best things about having a cubby house when we were kids was the fact that we had our very own special place. A place where we could spend time with our friends, share secrets, tell jokes, play, write, eat, read, play shops and have tea parties. We loved getting lost in our imaginary worlds and had the time of our lives – these are some of the strongest and happiest memories from our childhood.

Our Bayberry cubby house has been our most popular seller yet but you need to hurry as we only have 2 available.

The Bayberry cubby house comes with a 10 year warranty and many features to keep the little ones entertained:

• Cupola & working weather vane with N, E, S, W symbols

• Windows and working shutters

• White picket fence

• Roof vents – ensuring good air circulation and no damp inside

• Flower boxes with drainage holes (flowers not included) – your budding gardeners can start their very own herb garden

• Wooden shingle roof

• Large opening at rear which can be used as a shop window or serving counter

• Door height: 1.2M

• Internal playhouse height: 1.64M

• Made from cedar wood

• Flat packed with all fixings and hardware included and pre-drilled wood

 

  

 

 

The unique design of our Bayberry cubby house will provide your children with that very special place of their own, where they can spend time with friends, role play and get lost in their imaginary worlds. It will blend beautifully into your backyard and is guaranteed to be a hit at your next birthday party or family gathering.

The AMAZING Skyfort Playset!

March 28th, 2012

Our Skyfort Playset is our largest and most impressive climbing frame with large dimension uprights and high quality and inspiring features.

Kids are naturally drawn to active play outdoors which allows them to explore their environment, develop their muscle strength and coordination and gain self-confidence.

The 150cm high play deck is completely enclosed with slatted wall detailing which gives it a tree-house like feel. Covered with 2 fully wooden rooves with starburst detail, the upper deck and cubby house measures a generous 160cm x 180cm x 1.50 cm in height and is full of character and charm.

To reach the playdeck, your kids can choose a number of ways to ascend, all of which will help to develop their fine and gross motor skills.

1. Solid Rock wall

The solid rock wall features green easy-grip coloured climbing rocks which are great for older children who are up for a challenge! Not only it is fun to use but also has physical benefits such as improving children’s motor skills, hand-eye coordination and upper and lower body strength.

2. Flat –Step Entrance Ladder

The flat-step entrance ladder provides a safe and easy entry onto the playset deck to access the additional features such as cubby house or slide entrance. The step ladder will also enable a safe exit from the playdeck.

3. Monkey Bars

The monkey bars have a 5 runged ladder to climb up where they reach the easy grip handles then cross the 5 runged monkey bar to access the playdeck. This aerobic activity will strengthen the heart and improve the body’s ability to deliver oxygen to all its cells.

Once up on the playdeck, they can climb up onto the crow’s nest for an amazing view of their surrounds. A colourful telescope is on the railing of the crow’s nest for taking in the whole backyard.

Skyfort Crow's Nest

There are so many things to love about a slide!

The Skyfort Playset is currently being supplied with a FREE upgrade to our exclusive 3m (10ft) Speedy Wave Slide. This will provide a thrilling descent for your kids and peace of mind for mum and dad as we have also added high railed sides to keep little ones safe from tumbles. Our 3M wave slide is safe, fun and will encourage adventure in children.

10FT Speedy Slide

While swinging, children get a chance to see the world from a new perspective.

The swing beam comes with 2 belt swings and a 2 child glider. Our flexible belt swing seats grip the hips and provide comfort and security for your child as they swing. They are also designed to clip on and clip off should you wish to swap them with either a baby bucket or a trapeze bar. The glider has two seats so children can sit back-to-back and ‘glide’ back and forth. The glider also has the benefit that it can easily be used by a single child.

Beneath the play deck is a built-in picnic table a sand play area – all you need to do is add a weed suppressant membrane and some bags of play sand and you’ll have a fantastic sand pit for your children to play in or if you prefer, it could be used as a ball pit.

Skyfort Playset

The Skyfort playset is manufactured from cedar wood and pre-stained with an attractive redwood stain. The wood is also pre-cut and pre-drilled which helps make home-build as easy as possible.

We also supply an illustrated owner’s manual showing you exactly how to build the set.  All you’ll need is basic DIY tools.

This frame is designed for children aged between 3 and 10 years of age and is tested (EN-71 & ASTM) to meet requirements for private residential use.

This is a truly awesome climbing frame and will provide your kids the ultimate in outdoor play.

The wood arrives pre-cut and pre-drilled so you are ready to assemble straight away. An illustrated owner’s manual is included with all sets and you will just need basic DIY tools.

The Bloomingdale is packed full of features which includes:

The 1.22m (4ft) play deck is high enough without being super scary and the slatted rock wall, situated at the front of the frame is great for little adventurous climbers. The 4ft deck is our most popular deck height as it is a fantastic compromise between being a sensible height for smaller or younger children and still high enough to keep older children amused.

Rock Wall

This slatted rock wall ladder offers the best of both worlds for little climbers. For those who are feeling a little more adventurous, the moulded plastic climbing rocks are a natural choice for a daring climb. For those with a little less confidence, then the spaces between the ladder slats will provide an easier ascent to the top! Kids will benefit physically from their ascent to the upper deck and build their upper and lower body strength whilst having have fun at the same time.

2.2m Wave Slide

The 2.2m slide has a wave in the center for a thrilling descent! The side rails are extra high at the top of slide to help children get onto the slide and help prevent any falls. The bottom of the slide is flatter, to help children end with their feet on the ground. We have also reinforced the rear of our slides to make them extra strong and to easily stand up to children running the wrong way up them.

3 Position Swing Beam

Our 3 position swing beam comes with a 2-child glider and 2 belt swings. When sat on, our flexible belt swing seats grip the hips and provide a comfortable and supportive seat for your child as they swing. They are also designed to clip on and clip off should you wish to swap them with a baby bucket.

The glider swing allows two children to ride back-to-back. Brilliant news for those with a smaller garden but with more than two children! Naturally it can also be used by just one child too! Made of yellow and green plastic, the glider complements your climbing frame wonderfully enabling multiple children to play together and to offer a safe and secure swing to use before children can swing on their own normal swing seat.

Vinyl Roof

The vinyl roof will provide protection through the summer months from the sun so the kids can enjoy the warm weather without running the risk of getting burnt. The tarp is also water-resistant so the kids can take cover during scattered showers.

Vinyl Chalk Wall

Drawing is the perfect way to encourage a child’s creativity and what better way than having a vinyl chalk wall on your playset from Climbing Frames Australia. With such a wonderful view as that from the top of the playhouse who wouldn’t want to draw it? The vinyl chalk wall is easy to wipe clean so your little Monet’s and Rembrandts can keep their creative juices flowing! The vinyl chalk wall is a great way to encourage children to imaginative play but also allows them to creatively explore new ideas, express feelings and communicate.

Sand Pit

Climbing Frames Australia have a huge range of playsets and wooden climbing frames with a sand pit area below the fort deck. Simply add a weed suppressant membrane and some bags of play sand and you’ll have a fantastic sandbox for your children to play in. Sand play areas are great for development of the sense of touch, through the texture of the sand but also develops the arm, wrist, and hand muscles, uses grasping and wrist control. It provides for creativity and imagination and is relaxing for the child. While playing with sand, a child also develops eye-hand coordination, experimentation with volume, weight, and measurement.

This fantastic Climbing Frame is packed full of features and is sure to be a big hit in your backyard!
