Choosing a climbing frame for a small garden

The key is choosing a climbing frame that fits your available space while giving children plenty of ways to stay active.

1. Measure your available space

Before choosing a climbing frame, measure the area where it will sit and remember to allow for the recommended safety clearance around the frame. 

Checking both the product footprint and the space needed around it will help you find a model that fits comfortably in your garden.

2. Prioritise the features you'll use most

Some compact climbing frames combine slides, climbing walls, ladders or swings into a smaller footprint, while others focus on one or two activities. Think about how your children enjoy playing now, as well as features they'll continue to use as they grow.

3. Make the most of every square metre

A well-designed compact climbing frame can offer several ways to play without needing a large amount of space. Multi-activity designs are a good option for families looking to maximise outdoor play while keeping room in the garden for other activities.

outdoortoys expert, Alex McMullan, explains:

"When families are choosing a climbing frame for a smaller garden, the footprint is often more important than the overall height. 

“Looking at the space the frame needs, including the recommended safety clearance, makes it much easier to choose a model that fits comfortably without limiting how the garden can be used."
