The Freestanding Curved Horizontal Climber is a subtle variation on the traditional overhead ladder design which features a gentle curve across the structure. Supported by an added metal post for increased structural integrity, this unit is a safe and hardy addition to a playground. The Freestanding Curved Horizontal Climber offers children the choice of swinging along the outside or inside edge of the curve, which affects the difficulty level of the obstacle. Some will prefer sticking to the inside of the curve, which shortens the total distance as well as the distance between each rung, while kids with longer arms or those seeking more of a challenge can use the outer side. Overhead climbers like this one provide excellent upper body exercise which aids in muscle development, but are fun enough that they don’t feel like a workout. The entire structure is made from robust steel and finished with a smooth powder-coat paint with a baked on finish.
