If it is for pets, the size of the pet should be considered. Large pets need more stable and spacious climbing frames, while small pets can choose relatively smaller styles.
Climbing frame design
Children's climbing frames can be selected with diversified elements such as slides, swings, garden climbing.and suspension bridges to increase fun and interactivity. Pet climbing frames can be designed with different levels, platforms, tunnels, hidden caves, etc. Whether it is used by children or pets, the edges and corners of the climbing frame should be smoothed to avoid scratches.
Budget price for buying a climbing frame
The price of climbing frames varies greatly, ranging from a few hundred yuan to thousands of yuan. According to the budget, you should choose products with high cost performance while ensuring quality and safety, and avoid blindly pursuing low or high prices. We should choose climbing frames from well-known brands and with good reputations, and understand the actual usage and quality feedback.
Durability of climbing frames
Wooden climbing frames are made of medium beech wood, which is stronger and more durable than pine wood, but the price is also higher. Climbing frames made of metal are more stable, but you should pay attention to whether the edges and corners are rounded and burr-free, and consider their impact on pets or children in different seasons.
Pay attention to the stability of climbing frames
Climbing frames with large and heavy base areas are usually more stable and can effectively prevent tipping during use. Some climbing frames have fixing devices, such as screws that can be fixed to the wall or the ground, which can further enhance stability and are suitable for installation in fixed positions indoors or outdoors.
The benefits of climbing frames for children's growth

Climbing frames can mobilize children's whole body muscle groups, improve muscle strength and coordination; stretching movements stimulate bone growth and enhance flexibility; moderate-intensity exercise can improve cardiopulmonary function.
Improve children's cognition
Successfully completing climbing challenges can enhance children's self-confidence; planning routes and overcoming obstacles can exercise problem-solving skills; contact with different materials and spatial judgment can promote children's sensory development.
Children's social emotions
When multiple people use climbing frames, they can improve social skills such as sharing and communication; endorphins and dopamine secreted by exercise can relieve negative emotions. Diverse ways of playing stimulate children's curiosity, encourage them to actively try new actions, challenge themselves, and cultivate a sense of adventure.
Plan climbing frames according to the number of children.
Single child climbing frame
For a single child, we prefer small and medium-sized folding frames or modular combination frames to avoid wasting space, and choose "multi-functional all-in-one" designs such as household wooden climbing frames, including climbing nets, swings and bottom storage baskets, etc.
Multiple children climbing frames
For multiple people, we choose large combination frames or regional climbing areas, such as frames with double slides and multi-person climbing nets, or separate low-age and high-age areas to avoid collisions. The number of climbing points should be greater than 1.5 times the number of children to reduce waiting in line.
Choose a climbing frame based on your interests
Adventure climbing frame
If older children like adventure climbing frames, they can choose climbing frames with high-altitude platforms and rappelling ropes, and climbing walls with adjustable difficulty, but they must be equipped with safety buckles and cushions. Parents or coaches must supervise the entire process when trying for the first time.
Role-playing climbing frame
We choose themed combination frames, including props such as lookouts and intercoms, to encourage role-playing. Multi-person collaborative obstacle frames, such as those that require joint pulling of ropes to pass.
Speed and sliding climbing frames
If children are interested in speed, we choose a climbing frame + spiral slide combination or a climbing net with a "rappelling slide" (add a skateboard and balance car connection area, such as a balance car track connected to the exit of the climbing frame.
Cautious climbing frame
Choose a climbing frame with a low height, wide base, stable structure, and soft material.Progressive difficulty design, such as a 3-layer platform climbing frame, allows children to challenge step by step.
