Premium quality climbing frame

Its robust metal framework makes the BERG PlayBase a reliable structure for kids of all ages to play on, with a 9cm diameter tube connection system designed for rigidity while still feeling lightweight. Each base frame allows up to three accessories to be installed at any one time using carbine hooks.

With longevity in mind, the galvanised steel tubing has a 1. 5mm sidewall, is powder-coated in classic black, and finished with an anti-corrosion coating for optimal rust protection. This all makes the BERG PlayBase one of the most durable and low-maintenance metal climbing frames on the market.

Minimalist design to suit all spaces

The BERG PlayBase can blend perfectly into all kinds of outdoor spaces thanks to the clean and subtle style of its patented tube design. Since the wider stability system is hidden underground, the above-ground frame takes up a relatively small footprint and doesn't dominate your garden.

There's no denying that BERG PlayBase frames look elegant and modern in sleek black, with the accessories incorporating elements of natural wood and rope that bring the geometric design back to earth. The mix of minimalist powder-coated metal and natural accents can complement any garden.

No concrete required for installation

Installation of the BERG PlayBase steel playground is easier than you might expect. You don't need to dig a deep foundation, tie down extra anchors, or pour concrete to stabilise it. Instead, you embed the underground framework 20-50cm into the ground and replace the excavated soil over the top.

This takes far less effort than constructing other climbing frame systems - all you need is a level and spade, and 2-6 hours for preparation and assembly. The lack of concrete foundations also makes it much easier to move your climbing frame if you want to relocate your BERG PlayBase to a new spot.

Create your own PlayBase configuration

As you can see, the BERG PlayBase system is an extremely versatile climbing frame platform, which you can customise to your needs by switching accessories as often as you like. Mounting and dismounting accessories is easy thanks to the carbine clips, allowing you to transform your BERG PlayBase from a playset to a fitness centre to a lounge area in minutes.

The choice is truly yours, but if you can't choose, accessory sets are also available - featuring combinations of swings and trapezes, climbing nets with boxing bags, and more.
