Here at MadFun, we have years of experience in designing and building these climbing frames, which sets us apart from most retailers. We can help and advise you on what is possible and even offer a "Design Your Own" play centre service. Due to our expertise Action, the manufacturers, have awarded us the 5 Star Stockist Accreditation. For further information on this award please click on the logo.

The largest of our Playcentres, 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, swings  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.  The swing-arm is supplied with two adjustable swings with wooden seats and is able to accommodate the Assault Course accessory on the end of the beam, as well as a single climbing rope.  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.

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.
