tp Climbing Frames
Assembly - Our 3 Top Tips
- read the instructions don’t just look at the diagrams!
- get a friend to assist, they can help to; reduce the build time, solve problems, support the frame, lift the heavier items . . . .
- tp supply ground anchors, which must be fitted to provide greater stability and their latest advice is to cement these in
Maintenance - Our 4 Top Tips
- tp metal climbing frames use galvanised steel so they are maintenance free
- tp wooden climbing frames use pressure treated timbers (see below) so they are maintenance free
- when locating your climbing frame under certain trees remember that sap, aphids and leaf fall can make extra work
- to clean your climbing frame and accessories use a mild detergent, warm water & a sponge, then rinse off with plenty of fresh water.
Safety - Our 3 Top Tips
· site your climbing frame 1.8m away from obstructions
- tp now recommend that you use concrete (we use Postmix) when installing their climbing frames and swings
- we recommend that you check the all fittings regularly. This is especially important soon after the first period of use when the structure settles down
Wood
Cracks & Splits (Shakes)
These are natural features of any timber and will vary in size depending on ambient temperature and humidity. Roundwood structures (e.g. tp Sherwood range) are much more prone to shakes since they use much younger wood, but provided the shake does not exceed 3% of the circumference or continues through to the centre of the timber then the structure will not be affected.
Sawn timber (eg the Kingswood and Forest ranges) will be less prone to shakes but they do still occur.
Preservatives
Since July 2004 timber products have had to be pressure treated with a non-toxic, water based solution (e.g. Tanalith E). This has been in use for more than 10 years and is an EU approved alternative to the older arsenic based preservatives, which have been banned from use in domestic and commercial applications.
Planning Permission (residential equipment)
You will need to consult with your local authority for location specific details but here are a few tips; The items we sell are not considered permanent structures, as a result, planning permission is not normally required for use in your back garden.
In addition their height is usually below local authority thresholds (usually 4m for pitched roofs, 3m for flat roofs) for garden use. However, you should check with your local authority if:
- you plan to build a play system in a field (ie a possible ‘change of use’)
- if you live in a conservation area
- you intend to build the playframe in your front garden
- if you have restrictive deeds on your property or surrounding properties
- your neighbour has cause for complaint
- the equipment takes up more than 50% of your garden area
- the equipment is close to the main house (eg less than 5m)
