Creative Cedar Designs has quality products for playgrounds. The climbing rocks will be a great addition to our outdoor playscape. We chose the variety pack with four colors (red, yellow, green and blue) that has two large rocks and two small rocks. They are made of a durable plastic - HDPE (high density holethylene) that is used to make hard hats and other products. They are textured and molded for little and big hands.
We're waiting for the warmer weather to add them to our homemade playscape. Instructions are included as well as all of the hardware. Thank you, Creative Cedar Designs, for including various sizes of bolts! This way, the climbing rocks can be installed on wood of various thicknesses. I will have to use a socket wrench, a drill and bits and I expect it to be very easy to install.
I am sure that the kids will enjoy climbing up and down but don't tell them that they are strengthening their arms and legs, as well as improving their coordination. We know that we'll have to add at least one more set of rocks, but they are very affordable.
The holds are larger than I expected, since I was looking for kids size and the listing stated for kids. Plus, the metal star type grips that go on the bolt in the back(which should dig into the wood) don’t dig into the wood at all, they collapse. This makes it to where you can’t tighten the grip onto the wood wall! I ended up having to purchase others that ‘would’ dig into the wood! After that, they tightened and they looked incredible!
Made a climbing wall for the kiddo, good product but...
Made a climbing wall for the kiddo, good product but I do wish they were all a different shape, I rotated them in different directions to make them somewhat unique but they become repetitive quickly. Still would recommend the product.
I got these to add to the rock climbing wall that I have on my children's swing set. It already had a rock climbing wall but there weren't many rocks on it so I figured these would help. The only thing that I did not like about the rocks is that they only come four to a pack, what can you honestly do with four rocks? I do like the fact that they are really big compared to other rocks and that they are different colors. I will have to purchase some more to enhance and even out the rest of the wall.
