    With these specially-adapted outdoor toys they'll be swinging, sliding, splashing and building all summer.

Hi, it depends what type of climbing frame you buy. My daughter is 14 and still uses her 8ft trampoline. However, we are seeling her Amazone Mark II wooden climbing frame - which has a platform, monkey bars, rope, swing (but no slide) - and she still uses it, but at 5ft6" is a bit too big. Although it is for use up to aged 14 years. So are selling to buy a wooden garden seat/swing - as she likes to swing whilst listening to music. She's had many hours of fun on the climbing frame with her friends, lots to do, lots of adventure and lots of imagination.

I am looking at getting a trampoline or a climbing frame for my garden, but am edging towards trampolines because they're likely to last for longer, what you think?
