Advances in building and material technology have also led to innovations in the design of playground climbers. From the traditional metal climbing structure, these play devices are now being made from lightweight but immensely robust PVC plastic material. The advantage of using such a material for construction is that the structure does not become too cold or too hot to the touch as the day progresses or as seasons change. This makes climbing on it comfortable even during extreme weather conditions. This new age material is also preferred by many because it does not rust, peel off and look ungainly. Besides, plastics come in a multitude of colors.



A standard playground climber is 8' in diameter at its base and expands up to 20' in diameter at the top. A good quality playground climber is likely to boast of vandal proof construction. These climbers come in a variety of sizes and heights, suited for the needs of a wide range of age groups. The climber with a 11/16" O.D pipe, measuring 7'H x 19' diameter, and weighing 400 lbs is suited for kids in the upper elementary age bracket. The climber with a 1" O.D pipe, measuring 4'H x 8' diameter, and weighing 130 lbs can support lower elementary kids. The portable variety of such a climber weighs a little less at 125 lbs.



The playground equipment is a great way to ensure that your kids are out enjoying themselves in the open and also get ample amount of exercise as they climb over, under, and through the colorful pipes of the climber. Your kids will have a whale of a time on one and you will also feel compelled to join them. Fret not for sturdy playground climbers can bear the weight of adults as well. So you can join your kids in the fun and frolic and not worry about the structure coming crashing down.

Go ahead and bring home the climbing dome and introduce your kids to the lure of the outdoors.
