We've just bought one from Climbing Frames UK & I would recommend them 100%.

The one we got was the Atlantic & our son (5yo) loves it ( http://www.climbingframesuk.com/climbing-frames/at...).

Took a fair bit of putting together - it took a couple of hours just sorting all the bits of wood out but we're pleased with the quality.

Have a picture...

Update

I ordered the Goldenridge climbing frame fom climbing frames UK. . I had a few days off and as it was nice and hot 17th July waited for delivery , the chaps who delivered it had a bit of a laugh .....have you built one of these before ?
Me , no but i played with Meccano as a kid ,
chap , allow a few days ...do you have any help.
me no . Opened the 5 x boxes ..... huge bag of about 1000 nuts , bolts , screws , 100 page manual ...seriously it is 100 pages !! and lost count of the planks of wood all shapes and sizes.

anyway had a few cups of tea , and got started then when it got Hotter and I was more frustrated trying to find the right piece of wood work out the diagrams 3 steps in advance , kids burying screws in the sand pit !!..rsorted to a few beers.








at this stage realised the ground really wasnt level enough , had to stop , go to the hire shop , get a rotavator for a couple of hours , rotavate the site then took the trailer , and made two trips to the local sand quarry , bought 2 ton of silver sand , had a little help from the labourers i had employed to help me with the sand














overall it took me 3 full days on my own , the yellow tube slide was a real nightmare trying to bolt up on my own as was fitting the roof sections , however very impressed with the build quality and no parts or bolts missing .....apart from the few that ended up in the sand pit .

certainly the kids are using it every day

I would be worried that the cats will use all that sand as a litter tray...
Ha, that was my worry , so we are having a private war with cats ,

fitted a sprinkler system to the garden hose ,which activates a motion sensor , neighbours cat was soon drenched !!

also use aload of solar powered lights at night ,
