“What climbing frames for small gardens does Jungle Gym offer?” is a question we get a lot these days. Jungle Gym offers a varied range of climbing frames and playhouses which come in several sizes. With the additional modules such as a swing set or a slide, the playhouses require more room.
Fortunately, we will show you which play towers and optional modules are suitable for 'small' gardens, so your backyard will be completely ready for the outdoor play season with a little play paradise!
Small garden climbing frames
It is hard to say when a garden is defined as a ‘small garden’. The shape of the garden and the position of other objects in the garden are important factors to determine whether a wooden climbing frame can be placed in your garden and how and where it should be positioned.
In many cases the play equipment itself does fit in the garden, but it is important that the tower's required play area is large enough to guarantee safety. A good example is a swing set which takes up little space (270 x 270 cm), but swinging on the swing seats will require a lot more room (730 x 270 cm).
We will show you an overview of our compact playground equipment that requires the smallest (play) area. Our products are GS certified and for safety reasons a minimum of two meters space on each outer side of the climbing frame must be kept free. We have also equipped each playhouse with a lot of safety features for extra secure garden play, such as strong railings at all entrances and exits, robust handles with non-slip structure and soft bumper pads.
Best choices: Climbing frame small garden, play tower small garden, accessories and modules
Jungle Playhouse
The most compact wooden playhouse is the Jungle Playhouse. With dimensions of 150 x 150 cm and a required margin of 260 x 250 cm it fits easily in most small gardens. The Jungle Playhouse also comes with a grow-with-me option for when the little ones grow up, which elevates the tower on a platform so that it is higher. However, the dimensions then increase considerably as the Playhouse will be bigger than the other climbing frames.
Would you prefer both climbing and playhouse play elements? In that case, you can combine a tower with the playhouse module, accessory or another solid home-produced design. Here is a selection of our compact play towers to give you some ideas for your small garden:
Jungle Tower
The Jungle Tower is characterized by the open platform, which is a little lower than the other platforms. The play tower comes with a wavy slide with a water hose connection underneath, and a sandpit at the bottom. The Jungle Tower is very compact and suitable for up to three children.
Jungle Home
The Jungle Home is designed with one of our most outstanding wooden roofs. It has fun colored rungs on the ladder to get up the climbing frame. Besides that it has a Wavy Star slide and a sandpit. All in one: a very compact Jungle Gym with a unique and timeless design, perfect for a small garden.
Jungle Castle
The Jungle Castle is a sturdy play tower. The tower has a tarp roof, a wavy water slide and a sandpit beneath the platform. The Jungle Castle is suitable for up to five children and one of Jungle Gym's all-time favourites.
Jungle Casa
The Jungle Casa is a robust wooden climbing frame with a wavy water slide. The entry and exit are built on the same side which makes it a highly recommended play tower for a small garden.

Accessories & Extension Modules
Jungle Gym offers various accessories and modules which are compatible with a compact wooden play tower. You can combine the following ideas with your ideal playground:
Fireman’s Pole
The fireman’s pole is suitable for every Jungle Gym play tower, and helps develop the strength and coordination of your children. Most often it’s used as a replacement for the slide of a playground, so the required play area is significantly smaller. You can determine the size of the climbing frame with a fireman's pole on the basis of complete play tower measurement excluding the slide, then just add 42 cm.
In the category Climbing Frames & Playhouses on our website you can choose the filter Fireman's Pole where you will find all the play towers with a Fireman's Pole. You can also check out the Design your Own category. Here you can choose one of our compact wooden climbing frames and add a Fireman's Pole instead of the slide, to make it perfectly suitable for your small garden.
Playground Accessories
All of our playground equipment is compatible with extra fun play features. Many climbing frames already come with built-in accessories. You can choose any accessory that is not yet included, like for example the Fun Phone, the Bucket for transportation, a Steering Wheel or a Tic-Tac-Toe game. All accessories are made of high quality materials.
Modules
Jungle Gym climbing frames can also be upgraded with one of our extension modules. There are a couple of great extension modules for our wooden climbing frames that need little or no additional space but increase the fun:
Playhouse Module
The Playhouse Module has the same features as a playhouse, but it is integrated into the climbing frame of your choosing. This way the Playhouse Module does not take in any extra space. The Playhouse Module lets children have the same play experience as with a freestanding wooden playhouse.
Mini Picnic Module
The Mini Picnic Module is also integrated in the climbing frame. This means it occupies just a little extra space of the garden and is suitable for 7 children, perfect for a picnic party!
Balcony Module
The Balcony Module extends the play area considerably without using any additional garden space. The StarOscope makes it the ideal place to study nature in and around the garden!
Mini Market Module
The Mini Market Module does not require much space at all. The little shop is located at the bottom of the tower, with the smallest details that will make your child feel like a real cashier. This high quality add-on module is appropriate for 7 children.
