Discovery Play Base Explorer Duo Climbing Frame
A premium multi-level wooden climbing frame with two huge towers connected with a 2.3m bridge and multiple accessories, perfect for accommodating lots of children for many hours of garden fun. Built using commercial grade timber, it can be fully customised to meet your needs. Contact us for a no-obligation quote and 3D design. Completely hassle-free installation available.
This climbing frame is perfect for residential gardens. For commercial projects (schools and public use playgrounds) please contact us for more information as commercial use climbing frames have different requirements for certain elements.
The Base Explorer Duo is a huge play system with two towers connected with a 2.3m bridge. Choose between 1.5m or 1.8m platform height, to give your little ones plenty of headroom as they grow.
This is not your average climbing frame; it’s much bigger than anything else on the market, so it can be used by many children at the same time for countless hours of outdoor fun. Built with commercial grade timber - Scandinavian, pressure-treated Redwood, which is known for its good quality, this is a robust construction that will last for many years to come, reflected by our 15 year guarantee on the timber (against rot and infestations).
The two ground-floor ‘playhouses’ and upper floor platforms give children plenty of room to play and safely access the monkey bars, timber ramp and slide. It is also suitable for all ages and not just toddlers, unlike most cheaper alternatives, due to the generous platform height. With a great choice of accessories, you can design the perfect playground for the whole family. Choose between a wave slide, super slide, tube slide (only available for 1.8m platform height), monkey bars/ swings, climbing wall, scramble net, fire pole and more.

Discovery Play Base Explorer Duo Climbing Frame Ordering Process 🏠
-
Step 1: Let's talk 📞
We start by discussing your requirements and customisation options including space, budget and must-haves. It’s helpful to know where the frame will be built, so we’ll ask you for photos of the site and basic dimensions. In some cases, we come out for a site visit.

Step 2: We'll 3D design your frame 👨🏻💻
Our design team will prepare a 3D drawing (to scale) showing you exactly what the climbing frame would look like in your space. We also provide a detailed breakdown of all costs, so you know exactly what you are paying for but also how changes can affect the overall project value.
Our design service is entirely free and obligation-free. If you decide to leave us after this stage, we promise to have no hard feelings 💛
