Design your own climbing frame

First make sure what features you and your children like. Does your climbing frame really need multiple swings? Or a climbing wall?

Then you’re ready to go to the ‘Design your own’ category in the menu bar above and pick a play tower. Choose and click any of our 22 playtowers and playhouses. Use the 360 view to make your decision: does it look good in all angles? Yes! Then push the button ‘Start design’. You have several choices:


  • 1: Choose the preferred timber type. There are 2 timber types: pressure-impregnated pinewood/whitewood or 100% natural and durable Douglas wood.
  • 2: Choose the preferred module at the rear of the playtower.
  • 3: Choose the preferred module at the left side of the playtower.
  • 4: Choose the preferred module at the right side of the playtower.
  • 5: Choose a slide or fireman’s pole.You can choose between 6 different slide colours!

    • The tool presents you everything that’s possible and you may prefer in your climbing frame design. There are so many high quality climbing frame extensions to try out. Creating your own climbing frame design had never been this easy and fun at the same time!

    Position of the extension module

    As you can see, the extension modules can be placed at different sides of the playtower. For the Swing and Climb Module it is often also possible to choose a position on the first pole (front), back pole (back), left pole (left) or the right pole (right). The larger playtowers also have the position middle pole (center). Specific modules and their positions are only shown if the combination is possible with this playtower (safety wise). Is your favorite module not listed on the side where you wanted it? Then there is probably a good reason for it. For example, because the safe play area’s of play elements (e.g. of the swing and ladder) overlap. This is determined by our specialised team for optimal safety.

    On the right side above the picture there is a top view of the playtower. This shows the dimensions of your designed result and if you created a safe play area. Always double check your climbing frame design!

    Please note: the dimensions in the top view are rounded-off. To determine the exact dimensions, use the image measurements on the product pages of the playtowers and modules. IMPORTANT: The ‘length’ of the climbing frame is always the side of the direction of the slide.


    Play area Safety notes

    Modules can not always placed the position you desire. This has two possible reasons:

    1. The design of the playtower does not allow the module to be placed at the specific position because of the safe play area’s of play elements.
    2. Swing area’s overlap. All Jungle Gym Climbing Frames are EN-71 certified. This certification applies only when it is constructed according to the provided assembly instructions. The top view shows that the construction Jungle Home 2-Swing Climb has an overlap in swing area, so the safety of this construction can not be ensured.

    You can always check the playground planner in the manual of the specific extension module to see what the possibilities are for your specific garden play equipment. This image shows you where the module can be attached to the playtower.

    An Example of a climbing frame design

    An adventurous combination is the Jungle Home with 2-Swing on the position back (right) and the Bridge module on the right.

    Design Your Own a Home 2 Swing Bridge

    Now we replace the Bridge module with the Climb Module, as shown below in the top view, notice the striped gray color. Because of the overlap of Swing area’s we do not recommend this combination.

    Customize a Home 2-Swing Climb

    Try the other side, another module or another playtower. Questions about the position of your extension module? Or need help designing your own climbing frame? Please contact us via the customer information page. We are happy to help!
