kid’s climbing triangle

Unshakable Strength for Little Explorers

As a father of five, I designed my climbing triangle to be used for generations. I make my kids’ furniture from solid hardwood and joinery to afford a sturdy stance.

  • Handmade quality: Unlike the mass-produced, collapsible toys you can get online, my solid hardwood climbing triangle uses traditional joinery to limit accidents, wobbles and flex.
  • Safe: Rugged with rounded edges and incredibly sturdy, it offers a rock-solid foundation for climbing and imaginative play—no shifting, no slipping, no harmful finishes.
  • Outdoor version: I locally source thermally modified ash to create a version for use both indoors and outdoors.

Most kids climbing furniture are made on a CNC machines out of man-made plywood and cheap hardware.

My version is not disposable furniture. Constructed with enduring joinery and solid wood, it is a piece that generations of kids will use for decades.

Details and specifications

Sizes: small (20 inches), medium (24 inches) and large sizes (28 inches).

Materials: White oak and thermally modified ash for outdoor use.

The outdoor version is to be “used” outside, but it is not outdoor furniture. It can withstand some rain and cold, but it is not to be stored outside. Using it outdoors can decrease its lifetime due to moisture and temperature changes.

All natural finish: No VOC shellac and hard wax finish.

this is not a collapsible toy

As a father and a craftsman, I engineer my climbing triangles to withstand the realities of childhood play. Built from solid hardwood, these triangles are designed for permanent stability rather than “flat-pack” convenience.

I use premium solid hardwoods and engineered joinery to create a rigid frame that won’t loosen or wobble over time. By utilizing permanent half-lap joints and loose mortise-and-tenon construction for the rungs, I ensure a level of structural integrity that simply can’t be found in a box at a big-box store.

Floating mortise and tenon joints

My rungs are traditionally glued, loose tenon joints. So the triangle steps can not roll or unscrew during use. This also makes it easier for little ones to climb.
