Houtland Swings & Climbing Frames

Welcome to the Houtland climbing frame range, which includes swings, slides, climbing nets, playtowers, sand boxes, monkey ladders, and forts. This residential garden play equipment is made from selected spruce and pine. All timber used in this equipment is treated against rot and insect infestation. The timber is cut, milled and drilled prior to entering the kilns for pressure treatment. The solution used for impregnation is non-toxic and arsenic-free.

All Houtland equipment conforms to EN71-8 safety standards. Every care is taken in the manufacture of the equipment - all timbers are machine finished and pressure treated and counter sunk nuts and visible bolts are covered by plastic caps. All orders are individually inspected prior to banding and packing. Each playset is supplied complete with detailed instructions for assembly, but if you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please note that wood is a natural product subject to the influence of the moisture content in the air and ground. In warm sunny weather the round timber will shrink, and in wet weather the reverse applies. These stresses will create cracking and splitting in the timbers. The width of the cracks can be up to 3% of the circumference of the component and they can go nearly to the centre of the timber in depth. Cracks of this size are allowed for in calculating the operational strength of each component.

All play structures should be inspected regularly for rust and rot. All fixings should be checked monthly and tightened where necessary. We recommend that you remove all accessories (such as seats, rings and climbing ropes) and keep them inside during the winter.
