Playground Equipment 5 Pods Free Standing Pod Climber



Playground Equipment 5 Pods Free Standing Pod Climber -- designed for ages 5-12, accommodating 1-4 kids. This single-post climber has 5 circular pod steps that allow climbing from any direction. 60" fall height with a use zone of 13' 3" W x 13' 3" L. Powder-coated steel post with polyethylene pod steps. Meets ASTM F1487 and CPSC #325 safety standards.

BEST FOR: I'd recommend the 5-Pod Climber for playgrounds that want a mid-range climbing challenge. At 60" fall height, it sits between the shorter starter climbers and the tallest 6-pod model, making it a good fit for mixed 5-12 age groups.

What Makes the Playground Equipment 5 Pods Free Standing Pod Climber Stand Out?

The Playground Equipment 5 Pods Free Standing Pod Climber is the second tallest in our individual pod climber series. Five circular steps spiral around a central steel post, and because each step is round, children can start climbing from any side. The openings in the pods work as hand grips too, so kids develop both upper and lower body strength on the way up. At 60" fall height, it provides a solid challenge without reaching the maximum height of the 6-pod model.

The 13' 3" square use zone is identical across the entire pod climber series, which makes it easy to plan layouts when you are mixing different heights. Install this as a standalone piece or pair it with 3-, 4-, and 6-pod models to create a climbing progression across your playground. The powder-coated steel and polyethylene construction handles years of daily use. Call us at 201-670-4000.
