Fort Features
The Balmoral Fort climbing frame's play deck is 1.2m (4ft) from the ground, high enough to give a challenging climb up and fun slide down but not too high to put off younger children. The Balmoral fort climbing frame consists of 4x2 upright beams supporting the upper playhouse. The deck measures 118.7cm (46¾") wide from left to right by 89.53cm (35¼") deep from front to back. This equates to over 1m/sq of raised play area with a sand play area below.
Safety Features
The Balmoral Fort Climbing Frame's stylish vinyl roof with an attractive yellow sunburst covers the play deck which is enclosed by the slatted wall rails. Our range of Climbing Frames feature a number of wall rails preventing arms from being put through the bars and create a little cabin feel. This is enhanced by the very popular window to the front of the fort which is a hit with many children who love standing in their high climbing frame tower waving down to mum and dad in the garden below.
Slide Features
The Balmoral Fort Climbing frame slide on the frame is high railed, especially at the top to ensure children can get onto the slide easily and safely and that they are retained as they enjoy the ride. The climbing frame's slide features a small wave to give some additional excitement, the bottom of the slide flattens to enable a slower exit to ensure children can place their feet down safely.
Climbing Features
The Balmoral fort climbing frame's combination rockwall ladder contains 7 slats to enable younger children to climb the ladder and 5 high quality climbing rocks to provide older children a more challenging assent up to the tree house deck. Once on the deck they can come back down the slide, play on the large deck area or draw on the ABC vinyl wipe clean chalk wall.
Play Features
The Balmoral Forts climbing frame's lower play area can be used as sandpit area with the addition of a weed suppressant membrane. Fill the area beneath the upper fort with play sand and you're done. The ground beams which act as the surround for this area are 12cm (5") high. Should you wish it could alternatively be used as a ball pit or you could add our optional stand-alone picnic table accessory.

Ahhhh, our beloved castle! My 2 boys love their 'Castle' and treat it as somewhere to dictate their orders to, as a cinema where they can watch Frozen as many times as they want without making us tear our ears off, and they regularly pedal their wares from the 'shop window', such as potatoes, bolts and pants. Recently they started up a 'cake business' from the sandpit beneath selling such treats as 'castle cake' and 'dino pudding'. It has also been adapted into 'mega ultra splash land', by adding an 'olympic sized' paddling pool at the bottom of the slide. So far, the castle has survived a 100mph hurricane, 8 feet snow drifts and a pretty big tantrum involving a 4 year old and a massive stick. So this shows, that the 'castle' has been one of the most important and best quality fixtures in the garden we have ever bought!

NOT for the faint-hearted!! Took almost a week to build and was not a lot of fun! Pleased with the final product although ordered some accessories to go with it.......steering wheel, telescope and binoculars but has a mesh wall round every look out point so not much use. Not impressed with customer service and after sales care team either.

We spent ages looking for the perfect play equipment for our garden. We live in a rural village and didn't want the frame to dominate the garden or view. We found the perfect play house and slide for the kids, they always use it to picnic in - rain or shine! It's loved by all who visit the garden, it has even been slept in while we did star gazing live. Its also used as a 'time out/cool off' place;-). I treat the wood every year and its in great condition. Our garden wouldn't be the same without it and its got years and years of use left. Thank you Climbing Frames UK. The Robinson family

What a fabulous product. Ordered online and item was very efficiently delivered a few days later (with courtesy phone calls beforehand). This was a birthday present and so most of the frame was constructed in secret in the garage with a final 'roll out' and finishing of the roof on the big day. Construction and checks were completed 1 hour before the birthday party guests turned up and it was then given a thorough testing! It has been in daily use ever since. The fort offers the right balance of open and closed space and the slide is great. The children are very happy! Construction is very easy if you take your time and study the drawings carefully. An electric drill / driver is essential!

Fantastic product and our son loves it. Sturdy and durable. The only negative is the time to build it as the part numbers in the instructions are not the same as the numbers on the wood, so it takes time to measure all the pieces, but the diagrams are clear and easy to follow. Definitely use an electric drill. It took 2 of us the best part of a weekend to assemble. However, our son had great excitement seeing it go up in stages! Would definitely recommend it.

A great climbing frame which my boys love. It took a fair amount of time to put together but the instructions were clear and very comprehensive. My two boys (2 and 6ys) have decided it is their fort and they have already had hours of fun playing on it! I would definitely recommend this to anyone, it looks great even in my small garden.

Bought this a year ago and is still looking good. Materials are decent quality and I was concerned about the longevity of the tarpaulin roof but it's still in good order despite the wet winter. Would highly recommend.
