Muddy wellies, rotting leaves and grubby hands can make outdoor play areas look a bit sad, so get the bucket out once a year for a quick spring clean.

Playground. How To Clean Garden Play Equipment.

Once a year: Cleaning climbing frames, swing sets etc takes little more than a splash over with some warm soapy water and a rinse as they are built to be outside all year round. Add some sterilising fluid to the water for extra reassurance if you have young children.

Remove rust: Metal should be rust-free aluminium or treated to prevent rust, but if you do find any rust patches, sand it back using wire wool or sandpaper, then seal the area with a metal primer designed for use outdoors.

  1. Dont be worried about 'cracks' in the timber. These are called 'shakes', and are quite natural. Remember your timber climbing frame is made of a natural material that will weather. The strength of the structure is not reduced by the cracks in the wood. These will grow and shrink with the weather. They are designed to be kept outddors, and will be treated to last 10 or even 15 years, without further treatment.
