Just read your article, clicked on the link it was relaly good. I had previously bought some accessories from the website in the link, they were ok, pretty expensive though.

Any more tips let me know

Are you planning to build a frame yourself? Where’s it for?

My advise is to fit the frame to the potential users (age range and skills). It’s possible to add features that help with all sorts of development without them feeling like they’re being too worthy and educational. I put the talking tubes into the tiger to help encourage interaction between children that didn’t know each other.

The germans are world leaders in climbing frame design. Take a look at Richter Spielgerate. They’re great. One of the many fantastic things they offer is a pair of parabolic reflectors that enable two children to talk to each other over a distance by focusing the soundwaves of their voices. Amazing and nearly magic. I just found a link to make your own parabolic reflector on instructables.
