See below for details of our exciting new 3-Gate Mat System™ - ideal for new frames or to enhance your existing climbing frame.

The Steel "Foldaway"...
Invented by the founder of Continental, the steel Foldaway remains to this day the UK's most popular, versatile and space saving climbing frame.

Manufactured from high quality steel tubing and epoxy powder coated in red, blue and yellow (other colours available by arrangement), the Foldaway provides the opportunity required by the National Curriculum for a variety of activities - hanging, balancing, turning upside-down etc.

Available in 1, 2 or 3 gate combinations. The 1 and 2 gate frames are supplied with 1 stabilising ladder. The 3 gate, which can be fixed in a "Y" or "T" position, comes with 2 ladders. Keystage 1 frames are 2m and 2.4m high. Keystage 2 frames are 2.7m and 3m high.

The frame has a single wall pivot which can be arranged to span windows and radiators if necessary. Strong shoot bolts secure the frame and no overhead cable is required. The frame folds flat against the wall requiring only 2.3m of wall space.

Ideally, double door access is required for installation, but if required the frames can be made for single door access. As the fixings require our installation engineers to drill into the floor, provision must be made in advance if underfloor heating is installed.

For fixing information and details regarding the provision required if underfloor heating is to be installed, please refer to the specifiers' section of our website here.

   
 

Steel "Foldaway"

Each frame can be painted in your choice of red, blue and yellow.

Eight different gate designs are available - see below.

With the inclusion of an optional wall fixed ladder (shown in the picture to the right), additional linking and bridging activities can be undertaken using the equipment detailed below.

Before deciding whether the steel Foldaway is the right frame for your needs, please see our other climbing frames, including the Duo-Plane and the range of Two-in-Ones available in the ropes and climbing frames section of our site.
