Turn the garden into their favourite adventure.
A proper wooden trapeze bar on knotted ropes — for climbing, hanging, swinging upside down and burning off a whole afternoon's worth of energy. Smooth, splinter-free hardwood, built to take years of real, rough-and-tumble use.
Smoothed, splinter-free hardwood bar
Knotted ropes for climbing as well as swinging
Hangs from a sound branch or frame (pairs with our tree straps)
The bit of the garden they'll head straight for
Swing seats are for sitting. A trapeze is for doing — hanging, flipping, racing to the top of the ropes. It's the upgrade that turns a quiet garden into the one all their friends want to come round to, and it grows with them from first wobbly hang to confident upside-down show-off.

Good to know
What can I hang it from?
A sound, living branch or a sturdy swing frame. It pairs with our Tree Swing Hanging Straps for a safe, branch-friendly fitting.
What ages is it for?
It grows with them — from a young child's first supported hang through to confident older kids climbing and flipping. Supervise younger children as you would on any climbing equipment.
Is the bar comfortable to hold?
Yes — it's smoothed, splinter-free hardwood sized for children's hands, with knotted ropes that double as a climbing aid.
Is it just a swing?
It's more than a swing — the trapeze bar and knotted ropes are made for hanging, climbing and swinging, which is what keeps children coming back to it for years.
