Creative Playthings Lexington Wooden Climbing Frame

The Lexington is part of Creative Playthings’ premium Tower Series, built for families who want classic design, big play space, and unbeatable strength.
This impressive playset features a 5 ft-high play deck measuring 5 ft × 7 ft, providing plenty of room for multiple children to climb, slide and imagine together.

It includes a wide ladder, safety handles, and fast, wavy slide from the upper deck, while the lower area can be used as a shaded playhouse or sandpit.
Heavy-duty four-layer Southern Yellow Pine swing beam supports a range of swing options, and all timber is NatureWood® treated and Sherwin-Williams stained for long-term weather protection.

A true American-made classic — the Lexington delivers strength, safety and timeless outdoor fun for growing families.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Creative Playthings climbing frames really made in the USA?

Yes. The primary raw materials and all wood processing and assembly are completed in the United States. Only a few small hardware components are globally sourced. Each frame is crafted, stained, and quality-checked in the USA before shipment.

1. What makes Creative Playthings climbing frames different from other brands?

Creative Playthings frames are built in the USA from Southern Yellow Pine, the same structural-grade timber used in American homes and decking. It’s up to 60% stronger and denser than the lighter softwoods used in cheaper “Pacific Cedar” sets, resulting in greater stability, smoother finishes, and much longer lifespan.

Is the wood safe for children and pets?

Absolutely. All timber is preserved with NatureWood®, a modern, non-hazardous wood treatment that has been used safely worldwide for over 20 years. It provides lasting protection against rot and decay while meeting strict environmental and safety standards.

Why are the swing beams laminated from multiple pieces instead of one solid beam?

Creative Playthings swing beams are made from four bonded layers of Southern Yellow Pine, glued, screwed, and bolted together with Titebond® III adhesive. This construction is stronger, more stable, and less likely to develop surface cracks than a single large beam. It’s part of what makes Creative Playthings swing sets the sturdiest in the business.

What hardware is used on Creative Playthings swings?

Each swing uses Heavy-Duty Ny-Glide™ hangers with lubricated nylon bushings for an ultra-smooth, quiet motion. Deep-set lag screws hold securely without loosening, and the T-Brace support ensures firm installation even on uneven ground.

How long will a Creative Playthings climbing frame last?

With proper care, these premium wooden playsets can provide a decade or more of reliable outdoor use. The combination of Southern Yellow Pine, NatureWood® treatment, and Sherwin-Williams stain gives outstanding durability in the UK climate.

Do Wicken Toys deliver and install Creative Playthings climbing frames?

Yes. All large Creative Playthings frames are delivered and can be installed by our own in-house team — not third-party contractors. We’ll arrange a convenient delivery and installation date and assemble the playset safely and professionally in your garden.

How do I choose the right Creative Playthings model for my garden?

Consider your available space, the number and ages of children, and the features you want - tower only, tower plus swing, or full combination sets.

Premium American Craftsmanship, Built to Last

Bring real American quality to your garden with the Creative Playthings Williamsburg range — high-spec wooden climbing frames designed for families who want strength, safety and timeless outdoor fun.

Since 1951, Creative Playthings has been hand-building premium playsets in the USA. Founded by two schoolteachers passionate about keeping children active, the company still manufactures its frames from Southern Yellow Pine, the same structural timber used to build American homes and decks. It’s 60 % stronger and denser than the lightweight “Pacific Cedar” (Chinese fir) used by many competitors, giving every Williamsburg set unmatched stability and long-term durability.

Each timber component is preserved with NatureWood®, a proven, child-safe treatment used worldwide for over 20 years, and finished with a Sherwin-Williams water-repellent stain for protection against sun and rain. The result is a warm, golden finish that looks beautiful for years.

Built with Pride in the USA

  • Locally grown Southern Yellow Pine from managed forests across the southern United States
  • Made and assembled in the USA, combining domestic materials with skilled craftsmanship
  • Sherwin-Williams water-repellent stain adds beauty and long-term protection against the elements

The Sturdiest Swing Beams in the Business

Creative Playthings’ signature swing beams are built from four bonded layers of Southern Yellow Pine — glued, screwed and bolted together using Titebond® III industrial-grade adhesive (rated to 4,000 psi).

This multi-layer method is stronger than a single solid beam and greatly reduces surface cracks, keeping the frame looking smart and safe for years.

Heavy-Duty Ny-Glide™ swing hangers with lubricated nylon bushings provide the smoothest, quietest swing motion, while deep-set lag screws maintain strength without loosening.

Each 7 ft and 9 ft beam also includes a T-Brace for solid installation even on uneven ground, and a Retainer Bracket system allows flexible beam placement around the gym.

Williamsburg Range Highlights

  • Premium Southern Yellow Pine – the strongest structural timber species (NDS standard)
  • NatureWood® treated and Sherwin-Williams stained for weather resistance
  • 4-layer bonded swing beams with industrial adhesive for superior strength
  • Ny-Glide™ hardware for a smoother, quieter swing
