The largest of our Playcentres without the swingarm, the Gate Lodge has no equal in terms of quality, features or price. This unit was designed to provide a get-away space for teenagers, a club-house for 12 year olds and a play-house for little ones, as well as a Playcentre with slide and climbing face. The Gate Lodge measures 1.8m x 1.8m (6ft x 6ft) with an interior cabin size of 1.8m x 1.2m (6ft x 4ft). At ground level is a fenced wooden floor fitted out with a wooden table 70cm (28") long x 40cm (16") wide and two wooden bench seats 90cm (35") long x 25cm (10") wide. Even with the table and chairs present there is a substantial amount of space available for toy storage or a small sandpit. Outside a 60cm (24") wide wooden ladder leads to the balcony, 1.5m (5ft) off the ground. Wooden railings control access off the balcony. At one end of the balcony is fitted a 3m (10ft) wavy green slide, the other end provides access to the rock climbing wall. Further accessories for the Gate Lodge include a Clatterbridge 1.6m (63") x 0.73m (29"), a full-sized Commando net (as fitted to the York & Arundel) and its own Monkey Bars Accessory for climbing and swinging activities. Swing shown in image is not included.
Despite its imposing appearance, the Gate Lodge PlayHouse has been designed for self assembly. The floor panels come already assembled, ready to be bolted together. The walls are made from tongue and grooved timber which in turn slides into slots machined into the uprights. The result is a strong, stable construction that accommodates expansion in the wood without splitting or warping. This is just one of the many design features that make the Gate Lodge such outstanding value for money.

About the Wood
The Action climbing frames are manufactured from PEFC sourced timber (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) meaning that only timber from sustainable forest is used. As wood is a natural material, over time cracks or splits may appear this is usually caused by the fluctuating moisture content in the air and ground splitting is unfortunately inevitable. Although it will not affect the structural stability of your product, here at Action we have tried to minimize them by only machining rectangular sections. These are stronger than the alternative round section and contain less heartwood meaning the chance of cracks and splitting will be greatly reduced. All the Action climbing frames use top grade PEFC pine; this timber is not only a beautiful but a high quality material.
To preserve the life of your climbing frame Action take a number of steps to ensure its longevity. Once the chosen timber has been selected and machined all rough edges are planed smooth and rounded and all fixing holes and recesses pre drilled. This entire process is carried out to 1mm precision to ensure maximum quality. Finally, the timber is pressure treated using a non-toxic chromium / cadmium / arsenic-free solution specifically approved for children’s playground equipment.
About the Delivery
All climbing frames arrive in flat packed parcels and for easy checking, parts are clearly labelled 1/9, 2/9 etc and are arranged in the order you will need them when assembling. Included in the climbing frame packaging will be a detailed set of assembly instructions and a drill bit for preparing screw frames. Packaged in a sealed silver foil pack will be your instructions and fixings.
