Are the Wooden Climbing Frames in UK & the Garden Ready for Winter?

With the cold and wet conditions in winter, kids play inside the house instead of outside in the garden. When kids do want to play on the jungle gym, please be aware and check the garden first to know if it’s a safe play environment. There may be a large amount of packed and slippery leaves or broken branches on the playground equipment that needs to be removed first. This will help prevent your kids from tripping over, sliding or falling down. To ensure your wooden climbing frame and slide will be in a perfect condition next spring; here are some smart preparations to take in autumn and winter:

• Regularly remove fallen leaves as they cover the climbing frames, slide or swing. Because of wetness and rotting it can become very slippery on the climbing frame.
• All jungle gym wooden climbing frame materials and coating have been selected for outdoor use. However, when a storm is expected, especially in combination with frost, taking extra precautions is highly recommended by bringing the roof trap inside.
• Removable accessories such as the swing seats, jungle gym wooden climbing frames etc. are well protected from the weather. Of course, they remain new longer when you bring them inside in winter.
• Use of cover prevents animals from entering into the gaps of wooden climbing frames you installed outdoor. It’s best to use sandpit cover or sandbox cover which makes it possible for the rain to flush the sand clean or allows moisture to evaporate keeping the sand ventilated, cool and dry without any unpleasant smells. Don’t close the sandbox with a shelf or closed cover because that can cause mold.
• The children are probably not playing on the wooden climbing frames that often in winter, but when they do, it is always good to know the frame was checked recently. And don’t forget to check the nuts and bolts regularly to make sure they’re still tight, any loose bolts should be tightened immediately. Wood is a natural product and moves with changing temperatures and humidity.
