Monkey bars and climbing structures are the gym of the playground. They build grip strength, coordination and confidence, and they keep kids moving.
We build monkey bars at heights matched to the age of your children, climbing nets, arches and domes and ladders, and we place them so falls are cushioned and paths do not collide.
Choosing the right bars
Younger kids do best on lower bars with closer rungs, and older children can handle higher bars with wider spacing. Some designs have adjustable height or curved ladders that are easier to learn on.
Nets, cargo climbers and rope ladders offer less rigid ways to climb.
Where to place them
Overhead climbers need clear space on both ends and a deep surface beneath. We keep them away from swing paths and slide exits.
On a combined set, we place the bars where they feel like a natural part of the route between towers.
From first call to first swing.

Good questions about monkey bars and climbers.
How high should monkey bars be?
It depends on the age group. We choose heights that match the children who will use them.
Can I add monkey bars later?
Often yes, if the frame can take them. We check first.
Are climbing domes good for small yards?
Domes can be compact and fun, but they still need a clear zone and surface around them.
