Keeping your climbing frame’s accessories in great condition ensures safety and fun for years to come. Follow these simple maintenance tips:
How Can I Clean Plastic Accessories?
Use warm water and mild detergent: Clean plastic parts like slides, hand grips, and climbing rocks with warm water and a gentle soap to keep them looking fresh.
How Can I Protect Accessories During Cold Weather?
Store swings and slides indoors: Plastic parts can become brittle in temperatures below 32°F/0°C. Remove these items and store them indoors to extend their lifespan.
How Can I Inspect and Maintain Ropes?
Check rope connections: Make sure ropes are securely fastened to swing hooks or tied securely at both ends.
Assess rope integrity: Inspect for fraying or wear. You can test the strength by applying your full body weight while seated on the accessory.
How Can I Inspect Climbing Rocks and Hand Grips?
Check for wear and tear: Inspect climbing rocks and hand grips for any sharp edges, cracks, or breaks. Also, check the screws and fasteners to ensure they are secure.
How Can I Ensure the Slide is Safe?
Examine the slide attachment: Make sure the slide is properly secured to the platform and there are no gaps where clothing or strings could get caught.
Check the sliding surface: Look for any cracks, scratches, or sharp edges that could cause injuries.
