Optimal accuracy of fit
As wood is a natural product, its volume changes as it dries out or absorbs moisture, so we recommend you drill some wooden elements yourself to ensure a precise fit and stability.

Complicated assembly (for DIYers ...) but satisfying result
I confirm other opinions regarding the incomprehensible instructions. We had to look at the pictures on the website several times to understand. It's also unfortunate that the pre-drilled holes are not made, as this would greatly simplify assembly. Otherwise, after several hours and mistakes, the finished basin is very satisfying and the closure system clever.

Top kit with potential for improvement
The kit was delivered incredibly quickly... 2 boxes, with instructions to unpack immediately. Good smelling, obviously impregnated wood.... Unfortunately a bag of screws was missing, was delivered a few days later. Annoying. Assembling the lower box was no problem at all. But now the big problem: The assembly instructions for the cover with the folding mechanism need a lot of improvement. I (20 years of Ikea experience) have never had anything so confusing. After a while I understood it without the instructions. The children are happy, dad proud. Everything is fine.

Sandpit with bench
I chose this sandpit because the lid can also be transformed into a bench. All in all, good quality. One piece of wood was broken but I got a fast replacement.

Good to know
Optimal accuracy of fit
Not all of our wood elements are pre-drilled, because drying or moisture absorption can still warp the wood before assembly and make it difficult to achieve optimal assembly.
Before the actual assembly, simply pre-drill yourself to avoid cracks and damage to the screws.
Individual characteristics
We love the impregnated Wickey wood for its characteristic features. Because each piece is unique, and provides endless fun as part of our playground equipment (Drying cracks are permissible according to DIN 4074).
Colour changes due to impregnation are quite normal.
Cracks with a length of up to ¼ of the piece of wood are harmless.
For the perfect result
For a perfect final result and endless fun, we recommend lightly sanding the edges created by the production process.
Light sanding is all it takes! Depending on the surface, choose a coarser or finer grit sandpaper.

Solid spruce and pine wood from Europe give our playground equipment its individual character. As a sustainable material, they offer a natural look and are particularly durable outdoors. We place special emphasis on the responsible use and quality of our wood to ensure that your children can play safely.
Wood from Europe
- Most of our wood comes from domestic forests in southeastern Germany.
- For our playground equipment we use impregnated pine or spruce wood.
- Wickey wood stands for exceptional durability outdoors.
Natural and sustainable cultivation
- We place special emphasis on the quality and responsible use of our wood.
- Our wood grows slowly, which makes it harder and more durable.
- The impregnation makes the wood more durable and is biologically safe for humans, animals and plants.
A living material with optimal fitting accuracy
- It is perfectly normal for the volume of the wood to change due to moisture absorption/drying.
- Because of this, unpack your wood directly and let it dry for at least 2 days before assembly.
- Subsequently, some wooden elements should be pre-drilled by yourself to ensure accuracy of fit and stability.
- We recommend lightly sanding the edges created by the production process. Depending on the surface, choose sandpaper with a rougher or finer grit - light sanding is sufficient.
TIP
In our assembly video, you will find many helpful tips for the assembly of your climbing frame!
Boiler-pressure impregnation
- Boiler pressure impregnation that protects against environmental factors increases the service life of your playground equipment.
- The wood is therefore particularly easy to maintain, as no additional sanding and painting are required, saving you effort, time and money.
- Due to the mixture of leaking resin and the ingredients of the pressure impregnation, greenish colouration may occur. This is completely harmless.
TIP
Immediately unpack the wood and allow it to dry for at least 2 days so that any moisture from the impregnation process is completely gone from the wood. This ensures optimal conditions for the next steps and the longevity of the wood.
Individual characteristics
- Knots, grains and pith are part of the natural characteristics of wood.
- Cracks with a length of up to ¼ of the sawn timber length and ¼ of the cross-section depth are statically harmless!
- Drying cracks are permissible according to DIN 4074.
TIP
Are the wooden parts of your playground equipment showing cracks? Send us a photo via our contact form. Our technical staff will be happy to advise you.
Superficial colouring
- Superficial white to greenish spots are harmless.
- They are caused by leaking resin and the ingredients of pressure impregnation, which collect on the surface.
- Their appearance will even out over time due to outdoor weathering.
TIP
Heavily affected areas can be lightly sanded!
TIP

Frequently asked questions
How do I send back an item?
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.
Where can I find the construction manual for assembling Wickey playground equipment?
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.
How and when can I reach you?
You can reach us via contact form and via good old telephone.
You can reach us from Monday to Friday, between 8 am and 3 pm, at the following number:+44 (0)330 808 0240
Please note our information on our hotline hours.
Which couriers and parcel services does Wickey use to delivery playground equipment and accessories?
Since we supply almost all of Europe with our country-specific Wickey shops, we cooperate with a large number of forwarding agents. In the case of small deliveries, we collaborate with various parcel services.
Is it necessary to pre-drill the holes for the screws?
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.
Which wood does Wickey use?
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.
Can I have my order delivered to a packing station?
Unfortunately this is not possible. But you are welcome to choose a different delivery address, where someone you trust can kindly accept the delivery on your behalf.
Does Wickey offer express delivery?
Unfortunately, due to organisational reasons, this is not possible. Nonetheless, we try and get the items you have ordered to you as quickly as possible.
Can I also buy sand from Wickey?
You cannot purchase sand from Wickey. You can, however, find high-quality play sand for your kids in all well-stocked DIY stores.
Why doesn't the lid of the sandpit close completely?
The small gaps between the boards, or between the lid and the pit, prevent the formation of mould due to the build-up of moisture.
How can I prevent the formation of mould or fungus?
Our wood is pressure treated. With this process, a waterproofing agent is pumped into the wood at high pressure. This process protects the wood against decomposition, as well as repelling organisms whose presence could lead to the destruction of the wood.
You can actively prevent the formation of mould yourself by unpacking the wood immediately after receipt and storing it in a dry place (for at least 2 days) before assembly.
