Even if the playground equipment if stable and safe, we always recommend anchoring your playground equipment in the ground to ensure your children's safety. Your climbing frame or swing will become even more stable once you anchor it! All anchors are screwed to the climbing frame posts and — depending on which type of anchor you choose — cannot be seen from the outside. In general, we recommend that all posts leading to the ground are anchored in the ground. Ladders and climbing walls should also be fixed with two anchors each. For slides, we recommend our SlideLock slide anchors. You can find more information in the respective product descriptions.

Tip: Our angle anchors are perfect for every climbing frame

Proceed as follows when concreting in the anchors/erecting the base frame: Assemble the base frame and place it in its final position. Please observe the safety distances indicated in the installation instructions. Stake out the places around the posts where the base frame is to stand. Position the base frame so that all holes can be excavated easily. Tip: the holes should be approx. 70cm deep and have a diameter of around 30cm. Mount the anchors on the inside of the posts. Place the basic frame into its final position. The climbing frame must be horizontally level. You can use stones or wooden wedges to achieve this. Pour the ready-mixed concrete into the holes until they are filled to approx. 60cm. Make sure that only the anchors are covered with concrete, and that the posts remain free. When the concrete has set, you can fill in the rest with topsoil. Please ensure that the supporting posts of your climbing frame are in contact with the ground when concreting them in. Correct anchorage is necessary for the stability of your climbing frame and helps to prevent danger spots. It also protects your screws from premature rusting.

A foundation plan is not necessary as our playground equipment is first fully assembled and then set in concrete in its final place. You can find more information about the construction of the basic frame in the question "How is the base frame constructed and how are the anchors set in concrete?".

Once the wood of your climbing frame has dried, we recommend pre-drilling holes before screwing in the screws. This minimises the risk of cracks appearing. This also prevents the alloy of the screws from being damaged and helps to avoid premature rusting.

Your assembly instructions will be sent along with your order in the enclosed screw bag. In the unlikely event that you do not receive your instructions, please use our contact form to get in touch with our customer services team. We will send them to you as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, this is not possible due to organisational reasons. Delivery is to your kerb - and then it's your turn.

If the goods to be returned are forwarding goods, we will coordinate a pick-up date for the forwarding agent with you and assume the entire costs of the return. If the parcels are smaller, however, we kindly ask you to return them to a parcel service provider of your choice yourself. Tip: Always choose the same parcel service provider who was also responsible for the delivery of your goods. This is usually the cheapest option. For a fast and smooth process we recommend you to use our return form. However, this procedure is not obligatory.

Due to their size, our climbing frames are not delivered by a conventional parcel service, but by forwarding trucks with a lifting platform.

Experience shows that with a second pair of hands and our detailed instructions, assembly is quick and easy: roughly speaking, and depending on your DIY skills and the preparation of all the necessary tools, you will need around 6-8 hours to assemble our smallest climbing frames, without setting them in concrete. For our largest climbing frame, we recommend finding two helpers. Then it should be ready in 10-12 hours. And once your friends are there, they can also stay to celebrate the grand opening.

The boards and posts have been sawn ready for use, and simply need to be sanded at the edges to avoid splintering. All the necessary screws, including covering caps, are included in your delivery. For assembly, you will require the following tools: Screwdriver Spirit level Rubber Mallet Try square Wrench set Tips:
Ensure that you use the correct bit size when fastening the screws provided to avoid premature rust and damage.
Pre-drill the holes before inserting the screws. This minimises the risk of damage to the alloy of the screws.

Ensure that the there are no parts missing from the delivery and that items are undamaged before you contact the assembly service. That saves effort, time and costs, and your helpers can get to work without any hassle.

As parents, the welfare and safety of your children is always your - and our - top priority. For this reason, we recommend that you construct our climbing frames as shown in our assembly instructions. Although almost all of our climbing frames are constructed and designed in such a way that they could be assembled mirror-inverted, you can avoid danger spots by assembling them according to the assembly instructions.

Yes, our Wickey swings are interchangeable. So you are welcome to install a baby swing instead of the supplied seats.

If you have ordered a climbing frame featuring a wave slide with a water connection, you will need a drill with a diameter of 4 mm and a minimum length of 5cm for assembly. You'll also need fine-grain sandpaper to sand off any burrs created on the surface of the slide. A 1/2-inch hose and hose clip are also required for the connection. Note: Please be aware that only our 175 cm, 220 cm and 300 cm wave slides have a water connection. On the reverse of the slide, there is a fixture that marks the position of the water connection. Guide the drill bit through the small pipe from beneath and start to drill the hole. The burrs created can be removed by positioning the point of the drill head. Any remaining sharp edges can be carefully ground down using fine sandpaper. Tip: when sanding, do not exert too much pressure, to avoid scratching the slide. Then screw the half-inch hose onto the connection tube and fix it with the hose clamp. Let the water fun commence!

You should build your Wickey playground equipment on an even surface. Grass or sand with enough space around the equipment is ideal. On solid ground, it is recommended that you lay out safety mats.

Even if the playground equipment if stable and safe, we always recommend anchoring your playground equipment in the ground to ensure your children's safety. Your climbing frame or swing will become even more stable once you anchor it! All anchors are screwed to the climbing frame posts and — depending on which type of anchor you choose — cannot be seen from the outside. In general, we recommend that all posts leading to the ground are anchored in the ground. Ladders and climbing walls should also be fixed with two anchors each. For slides, we recommend our SlideLock slide anchors. You can find more information in the respective product descriptions.

Tip: Our angle anchors are perfect for every climbing frame

We offer our augmented reality feature to help you find your dream climbing frame.

Impregnated Wickey wood made of pine or spruce is naturally and sustainably cultivated and is known for particular outdoor durability. It provides our products with a firm footing that ensures both fun and safety.

Wood is a natural product and no two trees are the same. Small cracks or knotholes are therefore perfectly normal. According to DIN standard 4074, the statics of the wood are not affected by cracks under a quarter of the length or thickness of the beam. On the contrary, they actually show that the wood is still working!

In particularly moist or dry storage, it may happen that the wood expands or contracts somewhat. Not only is this harmless, it's actually good for the wood, as it helps it best withstand the weather and environmental factors.

If your Wickey product has small white or green stains, there's no need to worry: It can happen that salts from the wood and the impregnation gather and escape onto the surface. You can confidently ignore these patches. If they still bother you, you can simply sand down the affected areas.

Our wood is known for providing several years of playtime fun, and to guarantee that, we have to make the wood durable. That's why we impregnate it using pressure treatment. In doing so, preservatives are pushed into the wood at high pressure. This means that the wood is then protected against insects, fungus, rot and long-term contact with soil and water.

In general, moisture is not a cause for concern. In our experience, it can take some time for the moisture that results from the impregnation process to totally disappear from the wood. What's important is that the wood is unpacked immediately upon receipt and stored in a dry place until it is built.

You do not need to glaze or varnish our wood. Due to the weatherproof pressure impregnation it is perfectly resistant against wind and weather. Nevertheless, if you wish to apply a protective glaze, you can always treat the wood with a special permanent protective paint or glaze certified according to DIN EN 71, part 3. These varnishes are not harmful to children and the environment.

If you want to freshen up your climbing frame or change its appearance, you can do so using weather-resistant varnish! Just make sure that the varnish isn't harmful to your children and that it will stay on your product for as long as possible! We recommend using a long-lasting protective paint certified in accordance with DIN EN 71 part 3. These colours are assessed for compatibility with children. Tip: Sand the wood using sandpaper before painting. Not only does paint take better on a rough surface, but you'll also remove impurities on the top layer of wood at the same time.

Due to the impregnation of our wood using pressure treatment and the fact that the wood is continuously working, it can happen that small patches of salt appear. You can easily sand them away or just leave them be if they don't bother you.

If the wood gets damp or is stored for a long time, it can happen that its volume changes slightly. In order to avoid this, you should store it in a dry place and not for too long. After all, you don't want to keep your kids waiting for their brand new Wickey playground equipment, do you?

As we have complete confidence in our products, we grant you a 10-year guarantee* on all wooden parts when purchasing our own anchors at the same time. In any other case, the statutory warranty will apply. * The advertised guarantee is valid for all wooden parts if you purchase our anchors at the same time. In any other case, the statutory guarantee will apply. Further information regarding the scope of the guarantee and its enforcement can be found in our guarantee declaration.

The warranty period begins upon receipt of the goods. The legal rights of the consumer (warranty rights and right of revocation) are not limited by the warranty.

The content of the guarantee is a durability guarantee on all wooden parts of the purchased item. This guarantee only applies if at least one of our own anchors was bought in conjunction with the purchased item. If this is not the case, the customer has no further warranty claim on damaged wooden parts after the expiry of the statutory warranty. There is also no warranty case, if the customer himself or a third party causes the defect on the wooden parts through faulty assembly, or if the defect is due to damage to the wooden parts due to improper use or storage by the customer himself or third parties. Further excluded from the warranty case are damages due to vandalism by the customer himself or third parties, wood-typical properties or weather-related damages.
