Jungle Gyms

Jungle gyms are best suited for children aged 3 to 12 years. Younger kids (ages 3-5) enjoy exploring basic climbing and sliding features, which help them build confidence and coordination. Older children (ages 6-12) benefit from more complex activities like monkey bars, rope climbs, and balance beams, which offer physical challenges and support strength and agility development. A well-designed jungle gym can engage and grow with children across this age range, providing years of active play.

To set up a jungle gym in your backyard, you’ll generally need a space of about 3x4 meters for a smaller setup with basic climbing features. Larger, more complex jungle gyms with elements like monkey bars, slides, and swings may require 5x6 meters or more. Additionally, it’s recommended to leave an extra 1-2 meters of clearance around the jungle gym as a safety buffer for active play and fall zones.

Jungle gyms provide an excellent boost to a child’s physical development by promoting strength, balance, and coordination. Climbing, swinging, and navigating different elements help develop muscle strength in the arms, legs, and core. Activities like balancing on beams or crossing monkey bars improve motor skills and hand-eye coordination, while the physical challenges encourage agility and flexibility. This active play builds both gross and fine motor skills, supporting overall fitness and helping children gain confidence in their physical abilities.

Jungle gyms promote imaginative play and creativity by giving kids a versatile setting to invent their own adventures. 

Yes, all of our jungle gyms come for easy assembly. Instructions are detailed and has everything you need to put it together, it will be more a matter of time and perhaps 2 adults depending on the size of the gym. We do offer assembly services too, to help. 

Yes, jungle gyms can be moved, but it depends on the size and structure. Smaller, lighter jungle gyms can be relocated fairly easily with a few people to help lift and maneuver. Larger, more complex setups may require partial disassembly to move safely and avoid damaging the structure. If your jungle gym is anchored into the ground, you’ll need to detach the anchors and may need new ones for reinstallation. Planning the new location beforehand and securing the jungle gym properly after the move will ensure continued safety and stability.

Yes, jungle gyms are fantastic for developing balance and coordination in kids. Climbing, swinging, and navigating obstacles engage their core muscles and require them to control their body movements, enhancing both balance and stability. Features like balance beams, monkey bars, and rope bridges challenge kids to use hand-eye coordination and motor skills, building their overall agility. Through regular play on a jungle gym, children improve their spatial awareness, muscle control, and confidence in physical activities.

To prepare the ground for a jungle gym installation, follow these steps:

Choose a Level Spot: Select a flat area to ensure stability. Avoid uneven ground, as it can make the structure unstable.

Clear and Level the Area: Remove grass, rocks, and any debris. Use a rake or shovel to smooth the ground, ensuring an even surface for secure installation.

Consider a Safety Surface: Add a shock-absorbing surface like rubber mulch, wood chips, or sand around the jungle gym. A layer of at least 15–30 cm (6–12 inches) helps cushion falls and enhances safety.

Check Drainage: Ensure the area has proper drainage to prevent water pooling, which can cause muddy spots and impact stability.

By following these steps, you’ll create a safe, stable foundation for your jungle gym, ready for years of active play.
