Just because the temperature’s dropping doesn’t mean the adventures have to stop! Your climbing frame can be just as magical in winter, it just needs a little love to stay ready for play.
Before winter really sets in, take a few minutes to check everything over. Tighten any bolts, make sure ropes and swings are secure, and brush off leaves or mud. It’s a simple way to keep things safe and sturdy for all those chilly-day climbs.
A quick wash with warm soapy water helps protect the timber from growing moss and algae, especially if it’s under trees. Our climbing frames are built from pressure-treated wood, so they’re tough enough to handle British winters but a clean surface helps them stay beautiful.
Winter play is some of the best play, frosty grass, misty mornings, rosy cheeks, and laughter hanging in the air. Just check for any slippery patches before the kids start climbing, then let the adventures unfold.
With a little maintenance, your climbing frame will be ready for every season because adventure doesn’t stop when the weather changes. In fact, some of the best childhood memories are made in wellies and woolly hats.
Winter is also a great time to plan and get started on any updates to your climbing frame. Whether it’s replacing a swing seat, adding a new feature, or arranging a little repair work, getting things sorted now means your frame will be adventure-ready the moment spring sunshine returns.
