I'm going to be constructing a child's climbing frame/tower/swing but can't find a supplier of components at reasonable prices. The systems I see advertised are scary prices! I can buy round timber pressure treated poles (100 mm dia) and galv bolts locally but not the rest. Typical items I need are ring bolts for fixing swing ropes, swing seat, fireman's pole - what do they use for that? Also I notice some of the swing framing you see are joined at the apex using tubular brackets where each pole (two diagonal uprights and one horizontal) slot into to create a firm joint. Like the ones used in this model
I'm getting earache to get this done so any pointers much appreciated.
Thanks, Neil
