Hi. I've searched and searched online but cannot find a climbing frame or monkey bars suitable for my 7 year old. They all seem to be made for people who have the space in their back gardens to put something up between the rose garden and the horses' paddock where it won't disrupt the view of the fountain. Suffice to say I have somewhat less space behind my terraced house, but still need a frame which stands more than 4 feet off the floor. My preference is monkey bars. Has anyone found any, or can recommend someone who has been able to build them? Thank you!

I have spent an embarrassing amount of time searching online for the exact same thing. Anything small enough to fit is too babyish to be of any use to my climbing-obsessed 6 year old.


This is the best option I've found so far and has the bonus that we can all use it for fitness training. http://xorbars.co.uk/product/6-5ft-monkey-bar/


I haven't gone ahead yet but spoke to the owner about how we could fit it into our garden which as well as being small has a big drop down to the patio level. He was very helpful on the phone and I think we will go ahead with it once I can get the space cleared. Only downside with it is it works out expensive if you get them to supply all the other bits you'll need and even more if you get them to install it, but the upside is he won't outgrow it ever!

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By NewWave · Posted

      I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.

      The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.

      Trades People

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      Do you mean that there are only very few trades people and that all of their thousands of happy customers post glowing reviews but most of them have only ever posted once to recommend said trade person on the trade person's own thread?   If so, I agree it's mysterious.
