Main Cons Outlined:

• Available only to the UK mainland – not available to any of the British Islands, north of Scotland, Scottish Highlands & Islands, Ireland or Northern Ireland
• As it is made in Germany, there are the additional shipping costs and transport costs to be aware of which will be built into the overall price.
• Some models need to be ordered well in advance as they may not always be in stock – so plan well in advance if you intend to buy less popular frames.
• The quality and safety test certificates could be made a lot clearer
• No air gliders or passenger swings where kids can swing in tandem together is available on any of the models we reviewed.
• Cannot be placed on hard surfaces such as concrete – it needs to be placed on a soft surface with the anchors then cemented in.
• Some of the larger models can takes 2 or more days to complete and require a lot of attention to detail and hard work.
• Additional drilling will be needed so you will need to have a power drill in your garden shed.
• You will need an extra set of hands for assembly, in particular the larger frames.
