Climbing Dome



Health watchers all over the world today are a worried lot. Obesity is on the rise and so is the incidence of lifestyle-induced diseases like Diabetes. One of the primary reasons for this is the sedentary lifestyles that most of us seemed to have adopted. This is true for adults, courtesy all the labor-saving devices that we have gifted ourselves. Most kids too have plenty of reasons not to go outdoors and run and romp about-computer games, Facebook, Twitter, and the Playstation. Unfortunately, these kids grow up to become sick adults who loathe any activity that involve straining the arms, legs, and the muscles.



The climbing dome is a boon for all parents who want to lure their kids away from the computer or the idiot box and into a world of fun and games in the fresh, open air and under the sun. This is a playground climber designed for kids. It provides climbing exercises to the kids, thus helping them to build their muscles and eye hand coordination. It is designed in the shape of an open dome and made from strong galvanized steel pipes that can withstand the weight of several kids climbing, swinging from, and clinging to it.

These playground climbers are ideal for setting up in your backyard, in a day care center, or in the nursery lawn. They come in a variety of sizes, but however, large may be the size, its greatest advantage is its portability. All good quality playground climbers should be easily assembled and comprehensive how-to guides should accompany each device so that the user is not lost trying to figure out which pipe to fit into where. The pipes should also be well-marked and referred to clearly in the instruction manual.

Some playground climbers come fitted with molded handles that make gripping easy and the climbing safe. There are some other types of climbers that are fitted with sturdy hand grips that are more along the lines of a rock climbing set-up. You can place a rubber mulch or an appropriate material under the dome to for some added dose of safety. This will ensure that the kids do not hurt themselves even if they slip and fall down from the climber. You may also add a polyethylene connection bracket to the dome for additional safety. But do keep in mind that this will increase the width and the height of the contraption.

A climber from any reputed brand is likely to be made from powder-coated steel that lessens the amount of heat that the metal absorbs. This makes climbing on it comfortable even on a sunny day. This steel is also less prone to rusting, so that your climber remains looking new year after year. You can have your choice from painted or unpainted metal.
