Here at Selwood Products we have a fantastic range of slides available to accompany our climbing frames. There unique characteristics have them regarded as some of the best available. All slides vary in size and are designed to meet the deck heights for various frames. They are all made from strong durable plastic, most coloured green as to deter insects in the summertime. Our slide range consists of the following specific types of slide;
Slide characteristics
High sided Rails – All our slides hold extra high sided rails at the top of the slide to help children get onto the slide and also prevent any falls / accidents.
Raised Bottom Lip – Each slide has a raised lip at the bottom so the kids hit the ground with their feet landing firmly on the floor and not their bottoms.
UV Inhibitors - Each slide is UV tested and has built in UV Inhibitors to protect it from the sun’s rays. This helps keep the product cool and not too hot to touch for when in use by the kids.
Reinforced Slide Rear – All our slides have reinforced rears which adds extra stability to the structure of all slides. This extra support also helps withstand the pressures of children running up the wrong way up the slide and any other strains it may be put under.
Enhanced Wave – Our straight slides consist of an added wave to help make the children’s decent down from the climbing frame, faster and more enjoyable.
Over the years climbing frames have developed vastly in terms of overall appearance, structure, durability and versatility. As a result they are now widely referred to by a number of other titles, from the likes of outdoor play sets and play centers to name a few . Here at Selwood Products our climbing frames display a vast array of features and accessories for your children to enjoy. We believe by offering such a diverse range along with our frames, it will help stimulate the child’s overall interest levels for pro- longed periods of time and help them gain full enjoyment out of their play set during active play.
Below is a list of just a select few of the fantastic features some of our play sets display:
Rock wall
All our climbing frames here at Selwood Products include a rock wall as well as a standard ladder to help your children access the frame. The rock wall offers children with
more of a challenging climb onto the frame itself . Its Colorful rocks and solid structure provide a safe and enjoyable option for your children to uptake. As well as being a fun option to accessing the climbing frame, the rock wall helps enhance an individuals hand to eye co-ordination and general motor skills when working their way up the wall .
Glider
The Selwood Glider is a fantastic accessory which can be attached to all our frames at 
Selwood products. Its fun swing action contains two seats and allows children to sit back to back and glide back and forth.The glider is constructed of strong durable plastic and is yellow and green to compliment your play set and its other accessories. It can be used individually as well as a duo.
Tube & Curved Slide
Our fantastic Tube slide range is a proven hit with all children. They offer children a fully enclosed and exciting decent down from the frame and apply a superb cutting edge to the overall appearance of each set. The tube slides allow children to ride down from a decent of 3.65m (12ft) in total and take up the least amount of space when compared to all other slides we offer with our play sets. The slide turns in on itself rather than sticking out to the front or side of the play set. It spirals once in the middle and flattens at the bottom so children land on their feet and can soon be on their way up the play set ready to slide down again.
The curved slide range consists of slides slightly longer than all straight slides. This is
predominately down to the design of the curved slides with the fixed bend in place that curves round to the front of each play set. This feature not only gives children a slightly longer ride but adds great character to the overall appearance of the frame itself. Like all straight slides our curved range all feature high rails to ensure maximum possible safety for your children.
Monkey Bars
Monkey Bars are great fun as all kids love the chance to climb, hang and swing like monkeys. Our Monkey ladder swing packages can be bought with climbing frames or on their own as an additional accessory. Monkey bars are a great addition to any climbing frame and prove a big hit with all children. Our monkey bar climbers come in two varieties, the stand alone monkey bar, or the combination monkey bar and swings. Both have a ladder at the end, and easy grip rungs long the horizontal monkey climber. The monkey bars are normally about 1.8m (6ft) from the ground.

Wooden climbing frames are now regarded as one of the best forms of current outdoor play sets available to purchase. The vast amounts of positive traits they display as a frame have made them a great alternative to your standard plastic and metal frames , for a very similar range of price .
One main advantage wooden frames portray over both plastic and metal play sets , is the fact the wooden counterparts are a lot more bigger and in general more fun to play on for the kids. All our frames here at Selwood Products are manufactured using high quality wood known as ‘Chinese Cedar’ .Cedar Wood is renowned world-wide for its unique weather-resistant properties. Its a very lightweight and dimensionally stable wood that lies flat and stays straight. This means it resists the natural tendency to crack and split, as you might find in many other wood species . The wood fibers contain oils that act as natural preservatives to help resist rot and decay , which for climbing frames makes it the most sought after wood to use . Metal climbing frames in particular over time will become weathered and begin to rust affecting the appearance , safety and overall function of your play set . A common problem factor that’s associated with plastic frames is the tendency for cracks/splits to form in particular parts . This not only weakens the specific part of the set but can also become a safety hazard to your children .
Another positive trait wooden frames pose over both metal and plastic alternatives is there ability to blend in with the outdoor scenery and peoples gardens . Many plastic based play sets are very bold in various colors and tend to stick out when placed amongst the green 
surroundings of most gardens . Metal frames on the other hand hold a very basic , structured appearance , often using multiple metal bars to construct a frame design . Wooden Frames are much more aesthetically pleasing on the eye and throughout our vast range of wooden play sets , features such as large play decks, wooden roofs and hand crafted dorma’s all add to our sets striking appearance. All are frames are multi – functional and consist of varied features and accessories from the likes of swing sets , monkey bars , rock walls , rope ladders and slide to name a select few .
All our frames are constructed from pre- cut cedar wood, fully coated in stain and pre – drilled to assist with the assembly of the product. A ten year warranty is also combined with the purchase of all of our frames . 
Each play systems comes Pre-Boxed (with all wood, metal hardware & plastic accessories), including an Illustrated Owner’s Manual . With unbeatable prices guaranteed you can rest assured that buying direct from Selwood Products you’ll get the best products at the best prices.

As parents, we are always striving to allow our children to just be children and experience play in the best possible way. We all know play is an important part of their early year’s development process and something that is not just restricted to an indoor environment. Outdoor play enables children to experience the natural environment around them, take in fresh air and create less inhibited play with curiosity being an important motivator within this.
A great article on outdoor play published on ‘Community Play Things.co.uk’ highlights the importance of children playing outdoors. ‘Children who learn to enjoy the outdoors have a much higher likelihood of becoming adults who enjoy hiking, gardening, jogging, bicycling, mountain climbing, or other outdoor endeavours. This is critical as obesity becomes an ever-greater national concern and as we must all learn to care for and protect the environment.’ So outdoor play isn’t just for fun it has added health benefits as well.
There are many different sensory experiences involved in outdoor play. Children have more freedom to explore and embrace the environment around them and it’s a great way to burn off excess energy, which we all know they have plenty of! Providing climbing frames outside for children can help to develop their physical strength and coordination. It can also have a positive impact on their cognitive development as it is a great way to stimulate their brains. Safe outdoor play on climbing frames, swing sets or within play houses can help to develop outside spatial awareness such as up and down, back and forth, along with imagination and physical confidence. It also allows the children to cultivate a degree of risk management and assessment; vital skills for later on in life.
Benefits can be seen even after the children have finished playing! We all know that children become tired through active play and that it helps to work up an appetite! There is nothing more satisfying than watching them tuck into their dinner and clear their plates! And the benefits don’t end at dinner time, as a result of active outdoor play it often means that they sleep much better at night time. Fresh air and activity go hand in hand with ensuring a good night’s sleep!
At Selwood Products, all our climbing frames and outdoor play equipment provide great ways for children to explore and play. Take the Andorra climbing frame for example with the rockwall ladder; ladder slats with moulded plastic climbing rocks for a more daring climb, encouraging little climbers to be more adventurous! Or our ever popular Belton model, which comes with our brand new monkey bar swing combo,two belt swings and a glider. Plenty to keep your little monkeys active and occupied and improving on their motor skills at the same time! Buying a climbing frame for your children is one of the best ways to ensure outdoor play is both fun and beneficial. Plus, with it being in your back garden they have easy access to recreation any time they like!
