AXI Hunter Playground (Grey, 663 x 653 x 326cm)

What age group is the AXI Hunter playground suitable for?

It's designed for children aged 3 to 10 years old. The manufacturer lists a minimum age of 24 months on the packaging, but general use guidance recommends 3 years and up. This is due to the height of platforms and the physical skills needed to use stairs, climbing walls and bridges safely. Always supervise younger children closely if they're using it.

How many children can play on it at the same time?

Up to five children can use the playground at once thanks to the three separate platforms at 142cm, 120cm and 98cm. This layout means kids aren't forced to wait in a single queue for one slide or one swing. They can spread across the structure and use different features simultaneously.

What's the maximum weight limit?

The total maximum load for the structure is 150kg. Each swing is rated for 50kg and the slide is rated for users up to 70kg. These limits are worth keeping in mind if older or heavier children will be using the equipment alongside younger ones.

Does it need to be anchored to the ground?

Yes. Ground anchors are included with the playground and should be used during assembly. Given the structure measures 663 x 653 x 326cm and weighs around 255kg, anchoring keeps it stable during active play and in windy conditions. Skipping this step isn't recommended.

Is the wood treated with anything harmful?

No. The wood uses a chemical-free, water-based stain. This makes the playground ready to use as soon as it's assembled, without a waiting period for fumes or chemicals to disperse. It's also a better choice for households wanting to limit chemical exposure for children.

How much space do I need in my garden?

The full footprint is 663cm long by 653cm wide, with a height of 326cm. That's over 6.6 metres in each direction, so measure your garden carefully before ordering. You'll also want extra clearance around the structure for safe use of the slide and swings.

Does assembly require professional help?

Assembly is required and this is a large structure weighing approximately 255kg, so it's a significant job. Many buyers choose to assemble with two or more adults, or hire a professional assembly service. Check that you have enough time and tools before starting, as it isn't a quick job.

Is this playground good value if I already have a smaller climbing frame?

It depends on what your children have outgrown. If a smaller frame no longer offers enough challenge or space for multiple children, the Hunter's three platforms, monkey bars, net bridge and double slide offer considerably more variety. It suits families with more than one child or those who host playdates often.
