When looking for the best climbing frame or play centre for your child, it’s important to research the different types of play structures and brands – which is why you’ve probably come across Plum Play.
This family-run UK business has been around since 1988, and with a strong reputation for quality, it’s no wonder that Plum wooden climbing frames are some of the most popular products.
Not only are Plum wooden play centres made from premium, pressure-treated FSC timber with a 5-year warranty against wood rot, but they also allow a weight limit of up to 50kg per user.
This means that whether you need a climbing frame suitable for a 3-year-old or an 8-year-old, your child can benefit from years of entertaining playtimes on the same Plum play set as they grow.
At Wicken Toys, the Plum Climbing Pyramid Wooden Play Centre is a family favourite. So, let’s compare the different Plum play frames to see why the Plum wooden climbing pyramid stands out!
Plum Premium Wooden Lookout Tower
The Plum Premium Wooden Lookout Tower is the perfect entry-level wooden castle fort, featuring a simple wooden tower with a roof. Children can pretend this is a castle tower, a treehouse, or a rocket ship!
Kids can climb up a colourful rock wall or an angled ladder to use the binoculars and telephone toy on the upper platform, then go down the wave slide to play in the sandpit below. This can be converted to a ball pit, and also has a chalkboard for playing drawing games or writing on the wall.
While this is a compact play centre that can be extended with a swing section, if you’re looking for a wooden climber toy that offers a bit more excitement, another Plum model could be a better fit.
Plum Climbing Cube Wooden Play Centre
Similar to the type of jungle gym parents might remember playing on in their primary school days, the Plum Climbing Cube Wooden Play Centre is a large square structure with plenty of features.
Not just a wooden frame with a slide, this cube play centre has a large climbing wall on one side, a play deck platform with a hidden den underneath, a cargo net, somersault bars, and monkey bars over the top.
That’s a whole lot to be getting on with, even if you don’t add the double swing section as well!
Plus, there’s a Plum Climbing Cube XL version, which adds a ‘crow’s nest’ lookout platform on top of the monkey bars. However, this does mean that the entire play set is much taller – which could be an issue for the neighbours, depending on your garden size and fence height.
Plum Discovery Adventure Playcentre
A cross between a wooden playhouse and a climbing frame, the Plum Discovery Adventure Playcentre is a sprawling wooden multi-play centre that’s perfect for children who like climbing and sliding, but may be more interested in spending time outdoors learning about nature and getting creative.
Made up of two tower platform decks connected by a cargo net bridge, each with its own slide, this play set also comes with some unique extra features. These include a bamboo water run trellis and potted planter and an acrylic painting screen, allowing mini gardeners and artists to get messy outside.
Of course, this layout means the product is only suitable for larger gardens, especially if you add 2 swings.
Why Choose the Plum Climbing Pyramid?
If you want the best of both worlds when looking for a climbing frame and play centre that children can safely explore from 3 years old onwards, the Plum Pyramid climbing frame offers exactly that.
Rather than just a swing-and-slide set or den, the Plum Pyramid play centre is both, turning a simple A-frame structure into the ideal mini play centre and packing lots of fun into a small footprint.
Featuring a split-level double play deck with a cargo net, colourful rock wall, and wave slide, the lower level also creates a secret den with camouflage curtains on either side.
At around 1.5m x 3.9m without swings and 3.6m x 3.9m with the double swing extension attached, this wooden pyramid climbing frame is the perfect fit for most homes with limited outdoor space!
No need to complicate things – the Plum Climbing Pyramid covers all the basics in one, and does it well.
