As the weather gets warmer and the days get brighter, Easter is the perfect time to invest in outdoor play equipment for your garden. What better way to encourage children to spend more time outside than by installing an exciting set of monkey bars in your backyard?
Here on the Wicken Toys blog, we’ve already talked about the best climbing frames for the New Year and shared a guide to Plum climbing frames, but today, we’re here to explore the best monkey bars for kids.
Whether you’re interested in free-standing monkey bars or a climbing frame with monkey bars, there’s a perfect play structure for every family at Wicken Toys. Take a look at some customer favourites below!
Swing Set With Monkey Bars
A familiar sight in many gardens across the UK, a wooden climbing frame with features like a slide, swing set, and monkey bars is the go-to option for families with plenty of space in their backyards.
Our collection of Creative Playthings wooden climbing frames has various play elements to choose from. So, if you want the full climbing frame experience with monkey bars as part of the package, you can find a combination that suits you from the Williamsburg, Lexington, or Ridgefield premium packs.
These types of structures are suitable for a larger age range, because they can be customised and updated with different swing seats, slides, and additional features as children get bigger and bolder!

Compact Monkey Bars
Want something similar to a climbing frame, but don’t have the space? Traditional playground equipment with monkey bars can take up a lot of room, but there are also more compact options available.
For example, the Plum Climbing Cube is the perfect wooden play centre for kids aged 3 to 12 years old. It has all the features you could want from a climbing structure, including two rows of monkey bars, a slide, a rock wall, a cargo net, a raised play deck, and a hidden den. All within a 2.13m x 3.57m footprint!
If you still want a swing set with your monkey bars, there is a version with a double swing arm – but adding this swing section will then increase the play centre’s footprint to 4.37m x 3.57m.

Metal Monkey Bars
Most of our climbing frames and play centres incorporate painted metal bars in wooden frames, but if you would prefer a completely metal frame, the BERG PlayBase could be exactly what you need.
This metal monkey bar climbing frame comes in small, medium, and large sizes to fit different gardens. The sleek frame is suitable for all spaces and ages, from 3-year-olds to teenagers and even adults. Available in black or green finishes, the PlayBase is compatible with around two dozen accessories.
This means that if the basic monkey bar frame gets boring, you can customise it however you like with a range of play and exercise elements. Including climbing nets and walls, swings and trapezes, a football net or basketball hoop, and fitness ropes, boxing bags, or pull-up bars and dip bars!
