How Much Will It Cost to Install a BERG Playbase Climbing Frame?

If you’re considering investing in a BERG Playbase climbing frame for your family, one of the most common questions is: “How much will it cost to install?” At Trampolines Ireland, we specialise in supplying BERG Playbases across Ireland, but when it comes to installation, we work closely with a network of trusted third-party installers.

Installing a BERG Playbase typically costs €300–€1,000, depending on size, accessories, groundwork, and location. Medium €650–€800, Large €750–€1,000, Extra Large €800–€1,000.

Based on our research and customer feedback, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you understand the typical costs of installing a BERG Playbase, as well as the key factors that can affect the final price.

Why Choose a BERG Playbase?

Before diving into installation costs, it’s worth noting what makes the BERG Playbase such a popular choice:

Versatility – It’s more than just a climbing frame. The Playbase is designed for play, sport, fitness, and relaxation, with dozens of accessories that can be added over time.
Durability – Built from high-quality, weather-resistant materials, BERG Playbases are made to last for years.
Family Value – Suitable for children, teens, and adults, a Playbase isn’t something kids will outgrow after a few summers—it grows with your family.

With all of that in mind, the Playbase represents a long-term investment. And like any investment, it’s important to factor in both the purchase price and the installation cost.

Typical Installation Costs for a BERG Playbase

The size and type of Playbase you choose will influence installation costs. Below is a breakdown of the average price ranges we’ve seen from installers in Ireland:

Playbase Wall – €300 to €500
Medium Playbase – €650 to €800
Large Playbase – €750 to €1,000
Extra Large Playbase – €800 to €1,000

These figures represent the labour cost for installation only. They do not include the purchase price of the Playbase itself or any accessories you choose to add.

Factors That Affect Installation Price

No two gardens are the same, and installation costs can vary depending on several factors. Here are the main considerations that professional installers take into account:

1. Travel Time

Installers will factor in the time and distance required to reach your home. If you’re based in a rural area or far from the installer’s base, there may be additional charges.

2. Groundwork and Digging

Playbases are designed to be installed securely into the ground. If your garden has uneven terrain, stony soil, or requires extensive levelling, the amount of groundwork needed will increase both time and cost.

3. Additional Accessories

Many families choose to add accessories such as swings, climbing walls, nets, or fitness attachments. Each accessory takes additional time to assemble and install, so expect the price to rise accordingly.

4. Garden Conditions

Weather, soil type, and accessibility all play a part. For example, if access to your garden is restricted (narrow pathways, no side gate, or steep inclines), installers may need extra time and effort to get equipment into place.

Is DIY Installation an Option?

Some families consider installing the Playbase themselves. While BERG provides detailed instructions, it’s worth keeping in mind that:

The Playbase is a large, heavy structure that requires secure anchoring.
Ground preparation may involve significant digging.
Proper alignment and stability are essential for safety.

Unless you are experienced with this type of work and have the right tools, we generally recommend using a professional installer. Not only does this save time and effort, but it also gives you peace of mind knowing that the Playbase is installed correctly.

Why Work with a Recommended Installer?

At Trampolines Ireland, while we are supply-only, we regularly connect our customers with trusted third-party installers. Here’s why that matters:

Experience – These installers have worked with BERG Playbases before and understand the process inside out.
Efficiency – What might take you a whole weekend could take them just a few hours.
Safety First – Professionals ensure that the structure is installed securely, minimising risks.

When you invest in a BERG Playbase, you want it set up right the first time—working with an experienced installer ensures just that.

Estimating Your Total Investment

Here’s a simplified way to budget:

Playbase purchase price – Varies depending on size and configuration.
Accessories – Swings, benches, fitness gear, and more.
Installation – €300–€1,000 depending on size and complexity.

For example:

A Medium Playbase with one or two accessories might cost €650–€800 for installation.
A Large or Extra Large Playbase with multiple accessories could push installation costs closer to €1,000.

When planning your purchase, it’s wise to set aside a little extra in your budget to account for unforeseen factors like difficult ground conditions.

Tips for Reducing Installation Costs

Prepare your garden in advance – Clear the area of debris, rocks, or garden furniture before the installer arrives.
Choose accessories wisely – Some accessories can be added later, spreading out costs.
Book locally – If possible, work with an installer near your area to reduce travel time charges.

Final Thoughts
