BERG Playbase Medium

BERG PlayBase Medium

The compact freestanding PlayBase. 2.85m wide, four carabiner points, and it fits a garden that wouldn't take a full-size climbing frame.

The right choice for younger children, or for a garden that has other jobs to do.

Specification

Frame width	2.85m

The 400kg is a total load rather than per person, which is why several children can use it at once — unlike a trampoline, where one at a time is the rule.

Four carabiner points

Most accessories use two carabiners — a swing, gym rings, a trapeze, a nest swing. A few use one, like a boxing bag or basketball hoop.

So four points is two swing-type accessories, or up to four if you mix in the single-point ones. Two swings, or a swing plus a boxing bag plus a basketball hoop.

Worth thinking about before you order: three children who each want their own swing needs six points. The Large has them, and needs only a metre more width.

For one or two children, four is plenty and the Medium is the sensible buy.

Every accessory fits

Swings, climbing wall, climbing net, gym rings, trapeze, basketball hoop, soccer goal, boxing bag, dip bar, pull-up bar, fitness rope, resistance bands, baby seat, nest swing, platform and slide — all of them fit this frame.

The one exception across the range is the hammock, which needs the Large frame.

TL, TT or LL?

The frames come with different top sections:

• TL — tumble bar and ladder. The most popular by a distance, and what we'd suggest if you're unsure.
• TT — two tumble bars. For children who spend their time spinning and hanging rather than climbing.
• LL — two ladders. Monkey-bar style, for climbing and traversing.

Available in green or black.

It grows with them

This is why a PlayBase outlasts a swing set. The frame never changes; what hangs off it does.

• Toddler — baby seat, nest swing
• Primary school — monkey bars, climbing wall, trapeze, rings
• Teenager — boxing bag, pull-up bar, basketball hoop
• Adult — gym rings, dip bar, fitness rope, resistance bands

Swap accessories over an afternoon rather than replacing the whole thing.

Space planning

The frame footprint isn't the whole story — allow for what's hanging off it.

• Swings need about 2 metres clear in front and behind for the arc
• Climbing wall wants around 1.5 metres clear and soft ground beneath
• Basketball hoop is better with 3 to 4 metres in front
• Keep it clear of fences and hedges — children swing higher than you expect

Grass is fine. On a hard surface, use protective matting. More in our sizes and dimensions guide.

The PlayBase range

Every frame is 1m deep and 2.45m high. What changes is the width — and the number of carabiner points. Most accessories use two, so the carabiner count roughly halves into swing-type items.

Carabiner points	3	4	6	8
Swing-type accessories	1-2	2	3	4
Frame width	1.2m	2.85m	3.8m	4.9m
Clear space needed	4m × 3m in front	6m × 4m	7m × 5m	8.5m × 6m
	Wall	You are here	Large	Extra Large
