Climbing Frames.ie?

Hi

I am looking to get a climbing frame and playhouse for the kids. I have huge garden so not restricted by space. There is so many options out there and they seem to be all way overpriced.

I found this place after looking on google. Can't seem to find any reviews etc.

www.climbingframes.ie

Just wondering has anyone used these or seen them before? They seem decent priced. I will have a bit of work to do but I dont mind that

looksee

I think I would want to see them 'in the flesh' there is a good deal of cgi and photoshop in those pics.

looksee

Also their offices are rent-a-space in Dublin, their phone number is in Surrey

I also looked at this company last month when looking for a large climbing frame/swing set for my son's birthday, have to agree about the ridiculous pricing from some companies here, I cannot comment non them as I ended up buying from wickey.com they are a German company delivery was €70 to Ireland and very happy with service only issue was none of the timber was predrilled so you definitely need a good toolbox and to be diy handy to assemble!!! I ended up paying probably half of what some Irish companies were looking for similar options! Oh and I ordered on a Thursday and it arrived about 10 days later, hope this helps!!

What did you buy? Was it two swings and a slide and platform? Do you think you could make it from scratch by buying your own timber.

Hi Phil it was exactly that but platform is quite large and has a roof over one section as well as a ship front on the bottom of it and a climbing wall on one side and it came with a few bits like telescope, ships wheel, bell, it's called the oceanflyer if you want to look it up. I had to order an extra swing clamp to use it as a double swing as its set up for a single swing and rope ladder. My brother and cousin who put it together reckon you could easily make it from scratch alright if you had all the timber needed. To be fair though they thought that by the time you paid for the pre treated timber and swings/slides and other bits it would be close enough price wise. All in it was €700 including delivery and it looks really good! I think I'm probably getting more fun out of it than the little dude at the moment.

We got a climbing frame from them last year. I can't fault it for the money. We already had it ordered when I found out friends had the same one (from the same company) a year earlier and have has no problems since. Neither have we.

The instructions are pretty good and each piece is individually numbered. It does take a bit of studying to get the correct piece in the right position i.e. it's not upside down or back to front.

Delivery was punctual and the follow up service I cannot fault. One of the rungs of the monkey bars was cracked and I was missing a few of the lock nuts. I think I filled out an online form and the replacement parts were with me within 24-36hours.

It took two of us to put the frame for the swings together but the rest of it I was pretty much able to do myself (I'm female by the way). The kids have got a lot of play out of it and I wouldn't hesitate to order again from them.

I bought a set from them about 5 years ago now. I'd buy from them again. Delivery was prompt. Assembly instructions were concise and easy to follow. I reckon I'll get another year out of it, but I've only painted it twice since new.

I'll try post a pic tomorrow, but from left to right it has a see-saw, two swings, a covered platform with a slide and a small set of monkey bars.
