Best Outdoor Climbing Frames for Kids
Wickey Premium Wooden Climbing Frame

Type: Wooden climbing frame
Age Level: 3+
What is so great about this toy: Lots of facilities. Its wooden parts aren’t pre-drilled, giving parents the ability to set up however they please.
What is not so great about this toy: Very pricey. The Wickey Premium requires a large amount of space for setup and at least 20 anchor points for safety. Has room for a sand pit but doesn’t come with sand. Setting the climbing frame up without tools can be a chore especially for parents unfamiliar with carpentry.
Description:
Swings, climbing nets, a water slide, ladders, rope bridges and a swing beam adorn the Wickey Premium climbing frame. This all-in-one climbing frame only needs a fireman’s pole to complete it. The Wickey Premium’s pressure-treated solid wood gives it a nice cozy appearance and feeling.
Its wooden parts aren’t preinstalled, but come with instructions for easy assembly, allowing parents to assemble and transfer the climbing frame as needed. Plastic hand grips line the Wickey’s walls, keeping kids from stumbling and tripping. Fine German craftsmanship guarantees the product’s quality, with the only problem being how to get your kids off the Wickey Premium in time for dinner.

Wickey Wooden Climbing Frame

Type: Wooden climbing frame
Age Level: 3+
What is so great about this toy: A very affordable counterpart to the Wickey Premium. Comes with a lot of accessories and a built-in sandpit.
What is not so great about this toy: Doesn’t come pre-assembled. In theory this lets parents assemble it however they please. In practice, it means that parents uncomfortable with carpentry may need to hire someone to put the Wickey together. Swing beam is low, preventing use by older kids.
Description:
Even Wickey’s more affordable products retain the high quality the brand is known for. The Wickey wooden climbing frame has the exact same security features and quality as its bigger brother. Pressure-treated solid wood makes up the bones of this climbing frame. The water slide, swing, and climbing wall are all still present.
Just like the Wickey Premium, the Wickey has to be assembled on-site, so parents should either buckle up and get a toolkit or find someone willing to do the hard work. What the Wickey has in quality and fun, it lacks in size and scale. Many parents have voiced their concerns, particularly about the low swing height, which can be a safety hazard for older children. This climbing frame is best for younger kids of around 4 years old.

Fatmoose TikaTaka Town XXL Wooden Climbing Frame

Type: Wooden climbing frame
Age Level: 3+
What is so great about this toy: The TikaTaka Town’s Components can be switched around. This product comes with its own set of accessories.
What is not so great about this toy: Doesn’t come pre-drilled and will require assembly by adults. While the wood is solid, it can’t support too much weight. Often ships with too little or too many screws. Doesn’t have as many play facilities considering its price. Assembly instructions can be unclear and frustrating.
Description:
This Scandinavian-style wooden climbing frame is visually impressive and very appealing to both kids and adults. Its apple green colors work well with the comfortable browns of its pressure-treated solid wood. The playhouse on top of the Fatmoose Premium is the perfect spot for a fireman’s pole as well.
The Fatmoose TikaTaka XXL comes with its own accessories: swings, a slide, and a sandpit. Buyers should note, however, that the TikaTaka XXL’s wood is not as sturdy as it appears, making it unsuitable for older kids.

Fatmoose JazzyJungle Wooden Climbing Frame

Type: Wooden climbing frame
Age Level: 3+
What is so great about this toy: Cheaper than the TikaTaka XXL but comes with the same amenities, just smaller.
What is not so great about this toy: Must be assembled by adults on arrival. No pre-drilled parts means parents will either have to go the DIY route or hire worksmen to build the climbing frame. Assembly instructions can be unclear and frustrating.
Description:
In every way but size, the Fatmoose JazzyJungle is the equivalent of the TikaTaka XXL. It has the same amenities – a slide, a playhouse, swings, and a sandpit, but at a much lower cost. The JazzyJungle is a great candidate to become a climbing frame with fireman poles, especially for parents on a budget.
However, buyers should be aware that the JazzyJungle suffers from the same complaints as the TikaTaka Town. The JazzyJungle’s frame is solid and durable, but only when holding up small children. If you’re a parent with older kids, it may be better to look for a bigger product.
