Trailblazer Wooden Swingset – Sandbox Alteration

October 13th, 2008

The Selwood Trailblazer Playset has been an amazing hit here in the Uk this year.  Thousands have been sold and there are many more thousands of happy children who have had the pleasure of being able to play on one!

The fun wave slide, rockwall ladder, swings and aero bar provide hours of entertainment, even for the most active children.  The beatufully finished wood and colour co-ordinated UV resitant tarp roof, slide and accessories make the plasyet look great too.  And there’s a range of high quality accessories to compliment the set, including ship’s wheel, binoculars, telescope, periscope, steering wheel, and a selection of baby, infant or toddler seats.

At an unbeatably low price of £339.00 Climbing Frames UK has been proud to satisfy these orders and provide many customers with a set they can be proud of.  With a little TLC including a yearly stain and the obvious bolt tighness checks, these playsets will last for years. 

Climbing Frames Uk have been asked numerous times this year about the possibilty of changing the picnic table of the Selwood Trailblazer playset into a sandbox.  Yes, is the answer, it is possible and no extra wood is needed.

Kindly one of our customers has sent in a couple of pictures of the sandbox they created and the cover they have made to protect the sand from the elements, pets and wild animals.  Below is a description of how they did it:

“Instead of building the picnic table we opted to use the wood from the pic-nic table to make a sandbox underneath. From Phase 11 in the instructions, we attached 4 wood beams “v” to each side of the platform on bottom to make thicker sides to hold more sand (see picture  on right). I used the 2 “w” wood beams on the sides to use as seating (see picture on right). With the remaining 5 pieces of “s” wood beams I made a top to the sandbox to keep my two dogs out when not in use (see picture below). The kids get tons of use from the sandbox!!”

If you have the Trailblazer Playset and have thought about getting a sandbox or if you’re considering purchasing the playset but thought you children might not use the picnic table then i hope that this information is useful to you. 

If you have another of our Selwood Wooden Garden Playsets and have made alterations or would like to give us feedback on your purchase we would be happy to hear from you.  Please send any meggages or pictures to info@climbingframesuk.com

Climbing Frames UK – No1 Reseller for Backyard Adventures & Selwood Adventure Playsets

October 12th, 2008

Why Buy From Climbing Frames UK?

 

Although we’re all very proud that Climbing Frames UK is the number 1 retailer of quality outdoor play equipment in the country, we never take our position for granted.

 

Each week, our dedicated customer service team tell us what you, the customer, think about our business.

 

The last 7 days we at Climbing Frames UK received the following feed-back on sales of Backyard Adventures Modular Redwood Play Systems and our Selwood Adventure Playsets boxed cedar play centres.

 

Backyard_Adventures_Olympian_Treehouse

Backyard_Adventures_Olympian_Treehouse

 

 

MRS T from Richmond: We had been looking for a play system for our two children, Chloe 6 and Noah 4, for a few months but couldn’t really find what we were looking for. That’s until my husband’s colleague told him about your Surrey display centre. It only took us 25 minutes to drive to Addlestone, and it was fantastic to actually see our children playing on the play systems before we made up our minds. With the help of your sales staff, we finally decided on an Olympian Treehouse with a playhouse conversion, two swings, a trapeze & a really “whizzy” slide. The whole family can’t wait for it to be installed. THANKYOU for helping us to choose the right system AND give our children a fun day out!

 

MR A from Guildford: Thank you for solving our “credit crunch” problem! My wife saw the Trailblazer play system advertised on your website & couldn’t believe the price. We wanted to surprise our 3 year old daughter with a climbing frame for her birthday but didn’t want to spend a fortune. We really only purchased the Trailblazer because of the price, so when it arrived & my father-in-law came over to help me construct it, I couldn’t believe what I got for £339! I was over the moon! It’s a fantastic addition to our garden & my daughter absolutely loves it.

 

MR & MRS F from South Ascot: Just a quick e-mail to thank all of you at Climbing Frames UK for such wonderful service!  From Chris the designer, (who listened to what we needed as a family & created a play system all 4 of my children – whose ages range from 2 to 12 – can use,) through to Graham who installed the system, the service was amazing. As a working mother, it was so reassuring to be told the exact date of the installation as soon as I placed the order so that I could plan to work from home that day. I know it’s only a small thing, but with 4 children, a job & a stressed husband it made all the difference! Thank you!

 

MR C from Gerrards Cross; Thanks for the speedy delivery of the accessories we ordered via your web-site. I received the items in three days & no delivery charge is great!

 

MR B from Les Hautes Ribes – France ; Thank you Climbing Frames UK export team, for designing & shipping the play system we recently purchased. We got exactly what we wanted, at the price we wanted to pay, and your company ensured there were no problems!

 

MR H from Cobham; I never usually write to companies, as I expect a good service as standard, but when a company exceeds my expectations I feel it’s only right to let them know. I was very impressed by your service when I recently purchased a Backyard Adventures play system for my twins. It was reassuring to receive a home survey prior to the installation of the system, to ensure that my slightly uneven garden would be able to accommodate the structure. I was also pleasantly surprised that it only took two weeks from order to installation. I shall certainly recommend Climbing Frames UK to friends.

 

MRS J from Norwich ;Last month I bought an Backyard Adventures, Explorer Mountaineer play system from Climbing Frames UK & I’m just writing to let you know we all think it’s fantastic!

The summer holidays, although wet & windy, were great because we just invited friends over to play in the garden. The kids played outside while the mums had a couple of glasses of wine in the conservatory! Considering we were originally looking at Rainbow Play Systems that were a lot more expensive, we really are very pleased with the Mountaineer. The quality of the wood is great & my friends can’t believe I’ve got a limited lifetime warranty on the wood!

 

 

 

MR & MRS D from Southampton; We bought an Adventure Treehouse from Climbing Frames UK two years ago when our grandchildren first moved back to England & have recently had an “extension” installed.  The Tower, Super Slide & Loft over the Monkey Bars has made a huge difference to the play system, as our family has grown in recent years & we now have 5 grandchildren! We’re so glad we chose a Backyard Adventure treehouse that could extend in this way.

 

 

At Climbing Frames UK we work hard to make sure our customers are happy with their purchases, from sourcing the best quality wood and negotiating the best price, to delivering the best service.

 

Hopefully we’re getting it right on the basis of these comments.   Why not bring your family along to our Mega Display Sites in Brentwood Essex or Weybridge Surrey where you family can try out our Backyard Adventures Play Systems.

14ft Trampoline Feature Comparison

October 8th, 2008

In recent years trampolines have become the must-have garden play and fitness equipment. But their popularity has led to a flood of poor quality, potentially dangerous, cheap trampolines entering the market.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) statistics indicate that an increasing number of people are being hospitalised due to trampoline related injuries. While many injuries can be considered minor, there are numerous incidents of serious injuries that have led to paralysis and even death. The most vulnerable are smaller children, under the age of six.

When buying a garden trampoline it is important that safety should be the top priority. All trampolines available from the Climbing Frames UK trampoline shop have been carefully selected for their premium quality and outstanding safety features.

A good example is our Alley Oop Double Bounce 14ft Trampoline. This outstanding piece of sports equipment is packed with features which set it apart from cheap, dangerous imitations.

  1. The recommended safety net is far more robust and the net wraps outside of the support poles. A safety enclosure net is recommended to prevent injury from falling from the trampoline.
  2. The innovative doublebounce technology provides shock absorption and lessens the risk of injury as a result of an awkward fall.
  3. The variable bounce technology provides a softer landing and gentler rebound making it easier to control bouncing height.
  4. Rest zones are provided within the safety net to allow children to rest and wait safely. Most injuries on a trampoline occur when there are more than one user.
  5. The padding used for the springs and frame use a reinforced vinyl fabric containing a full inch of gym quality padding. Cheaper alternatives use a woven nylon pad with only half an inch of soft, low grade foam.

These are just a few of the key safety features that will help to ensure long, safe and enjoyable use of this outstanding trampoline.

Making Exercise a Family Activity

October 5th, 2008

In recent years, English children have become increasingly inactive. Riding bikes and playing football have become a thing of the past as children are being sucked into a world of watching television, playing computer games and spending countless hours online. On average, English children spend around 24 hours a week watching television. This factor combined with short playtimes and a few hours of PE at school, has resulted in England’s growing childhood obesity problem, which is linked to such complications like high blood pressure and diabetes.

The government recommends that children of all ages and teenagers engage in at least an hour of physical activity everyday to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Childhood is an essential time for parents and guardians to encourage physical activity in a positive light, creating a suitable balance between physical activity and television watching. Such studies show that a mere 2% of children who are inactive as children become active adults.

Climbing_Frames_UK

Climbing_Frames_UK

The following are some ways to help bring physical activity into your children’s everyday routine:

 

 

Make exercise a family activity!

Planning outings such as trips to the zoo, beach, bike rides through the park or the playground can encourage physical activity in a positive way. Taking walks instead of the car is a great way to spend time together and including all family members will prevent a child from feeling singled out!

Be a positive role model!

Stairs instead of the lift, walk instead of using the car, choosing a parking space further away from the shops: your choices will impact on your children, as those who see their parents making decisions promoting physical activity are more likely to employ an active lifestyle.

Choose the right activity!

Children can get bored with different activities depending on how old they are. Your choice of activity for your children needs to be considered in terms of how old they are. Choosing activities, which require more skill, wouldn’t be suitable for a 4-year old, thus not being reasonable for their physical abilities.

Time and Space for exercise!

Setting aside times for exercise and areas in the house or garden for the children to be physically active will help you get into a routine to allow your children to adopt the ideal active lifestyle.

Active jobs and toys!

Giving your children jobs around the house and garden like washing the car, hovering, walking the dog, making their beds and planting flowers can help get your child physically active! Or, choose physically demanding computer games or dance videos!

Fun is the key!

Making physical activity fun will encourage your children to want to do it again and again! It will increase their motivation and they won’t realise how active they’re being because they’re having too much fun! Joining a sports team or club that your child enjoys is also a great way to encourage physical activity! Not only this, but teams and clubs encourage children to socialise and develop their communication skills! But remember, too much emphasis on winning and being the best isn’t the way to enjoy exercise!

Restrict TV and computer hours!

Ideally, children should engage in no more than 2 hours of television and computer activity each day. Enable children to compromise more minutes of physical activity for extra TV or computer hours! Gaining a balance between activity and technology is key!

Keep it safe!

Knowing when enough is enough is essential, make sure children don’t do too much physical activity resulting in injuries! Play in safe settings and wear protective equipment with certain activities!
