The Explorer provides a great amount of play space in a relatively small footprint, for many years of play from a young age right up to mid-teens. It’s available in 1.5m or 1.8m platform height to give little ones plenty of headroom as they grow. It’s the perfect blend of playhouse and climbing frame, with a clever cantilever balcony on the upper floor and internal access via a ladder, providing plenty of room for 4-5 children to play and still safely access the monkey bars, fire pole and slide.
This is not your average climbing frame; it’s bigger than anything else on the market, so it can be used by many children at the same time for countless hours of garden fun. Built with commercial grade timber - Scandinavian, pressure-treated Redwood, which is known for its good quality, this is a robust construction that will last for many years to come, reflected by our 15 year guarantee on the timber (against rot and infestations).
Packed with lots of great climbing features, we have no doubt the Explorer will be an absolute favourite. It is suitable for all ages and not just toddlers, unlike most cheaper alternatives, due to the generous platform height. With a great choice of accessories, you can design the perfect playground for the whole family. Choose between a wave slide, super slide, tube slide (only available for 1.8m platform height), monkey bars/ swings, climbing wall, scramble net, fire pole and more.

Discovery Play Explorer Climbing Frame Ordering Process 🏠
-
Step 1: Let's talk 📞
We start by discussing your requirements and customisation options including space, budget and must-haves. It’s helpful to know where the frame will be built, so we’ll ask you for photos of the site and basic dimensions. In some cases, we come out for a site visit.
-
Step 2: We'll 3D design your frame 👨🏻💻
Our design team will prepare a 3D drawing (to scale) showing you exactly what the climbing frame would look like in your space. We also provide a detailed breakdown of all costs, so you know exactly what you are paying for but also how changes can affect the overall project value.
Our design service is entirely free and obligation-free. If you decide to leave us after this stage, we promise to have no hard feelings 💛
-
Step 3: Build & Enjoy 🛝
Once you approve the design, our team in Gloucestershire will start building your personalised playground by hand. We offer completely hassle-free installation with our fully trained, in-house installation team.
We agree a date to come and commence the build. In most cases, assembly involves a 3-man team, and it takes around 2/3 days for a single frame set.
Enjoying your climbing frame 🥰
Our frames are built using commercial grade timber and high-quality accessories, as we believe that outdoor playgrounds should only be purchased once. We therefore build them to be safe, sturdy, and reliable, suitable for younger and older kids alike, so they can be enjoyed for many years to come.
