Climb On

🔧 DIY Tips
Installing yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Drill
- Heavy-duty fixings
- Stud finder (for indoor)
- Step ladder
📐 Safe installation
- Find solid structure (joist, beam, thick branch)
- Use appropriate fixings for material
- Check ladder rating vs child weight
- Allow swing clearance
- Test with adult weight first
- Check regularly for wear
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Mounting to weak points
- Wrong fixings for material
- Too close to walls/edges
- Not checking ladder rating
💡 Pro trick: Hang the ladder where the bottom is clear of ground obstacles - kids often jump off the last few rungs.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can rope ladders be fitted?
Climbing frames, tree houses, loft beds, indoor climbing setups, bedroom ceilings for high sleeper access. Anywhere with a solid mounting point that can take the load.
What weight will it hold?
Depends on the ladder and mounting. We check the ladder's rating and ensure the mounting point is solid enough. We'll tell you the safe weight limit for your setup.
Can it be fitted indoors?
Yes - ceiling joists for loft bed access, or wall brackets for bedroom climbing features. We find the solid structure and mount securely.
What about garden trees?
If the branch is thick enough and healthy, yes. We assess the tree first - some branches look sturdy but aren't. Safety always comes first.
