Design a custom climbing frame as unique as your child

One size fits all? Not in your back garden.

Every child plays differently. Some race up the monkey bars like fearless adventurers. Others would rather play shopkeeper or sit quietly with a sketchbook. That’s why Jungle Gym lets you design your own climbing frame to fit your family, not just for this summer, but for years to come.

Whether you’ve got a small patio or a bigger outdoor space, with the help of the climbing frame configurator, you can create a play space your little ones will love to grow into.

How the Jungle Gym configurator works

The configurator is your personal playground designer, no design degree required.

Here’s how you can design your own climbing frame, in four easy steps:

1. Pick your base tower: choose from compact, medium or large base models
2. Add your features: personalise your climbing frame with swings, slides, monkey bars, fireman’s poles, picnic areas
3. Adjust your layout: shape your playset to fit your garden and outdoor space exactly
4. Preview in real time: view the climbing frame from every angle, no guesswork

You don’t need to be a hero in DIY. Our modular system makes it easy to get started with your climbing frame, and you can always add more later.

Add smart extras for a personalised feel

Accessories turn your climbing frame into your kid’s very own play paradise, with a personalised look and feel. They don’t just look great, they unlock creativity, role play, and different styles of interaction. Popular client favourites include:

• Steering wheels and telescopes for pretend play
• Picnic modules for turning a play towers into a café
• Sandpits and playhouses, ideal for younger siblings
• Climbing walls and ramps, great for growing explorers

These dynamic additions don’t just add to the fun, they help you create a space that truly reflects your children’s style of play. And as many Jungle Gym parents will tell you, the result is worth it:

“We designed our own climbing frame for our twins, age 4. Slide, seating, climbing ramp – it’s the best thing we’ve bought for the garden.”
 — Jane, Bristol

A climbing frame that grows with your child

Your kids won’t stay little forever, but your climbing frame can keep up.

Our modular designs mean you can start small and expand as your children grow. What begins as a toddler friendly play tower can become a full adventure zone with monkey bars and climbing nets as your little ones get older. For example, you can: 

• Begin with a toddler friendly slide and sandbox
• Add monkey bars or a climbing wall in a few years
• Extend with a picnic table or rope ladder for school age adventures

It’s a flexible and cost-effective approach that works for all sorts of families, especially when your child’s interests (and climbing skills) change faster than you expect. As one parent put it:

“We’ve updated ours every couple of years. It started as a basic slide and now it’s a full on fortress.”
 — Aoife, Galway

Made for play, built for peace of mind

We know safety is non-negotiable. That’s why every Jungle Gym climbing frame is made in Europe and meets EN 71 safety standards. 

Every climbing frame includes:

• Smooth, splinter free timber
• Sturdy screw-in ground anchors included as standard
• Incorporated safety features like hand grips and bumper pads

We use sustainably sourced wood that is built to last through all the elements and all the play.

“We looked at plastic alternatives, but they felt flimsy,” says Tom from Surrey. “The Jungle Gym climbing frame feels solid and safe. It’s reassuring to know it’s tested to high standards too.”

A smart investment in play and development

A custom climbing frame isn’t just a way to burn off energy. It’s a tool for growth and development. A climbing frame supports:

• Physical development: climbing, swinging, balancing
• Creativity and imagination: from pirate ships to fairy kingdoms
• Social skills: shared play helps build cooperation and resilience

And for parents? It means more time outdoors, fewer screens, and a shared space for memory making.
