Charlotte the Spider from SportsPlay combines adventurous climbing with a playful creature-inspired design that immediately adds personality to a commercial playground. Designed for children ages 5–12, this freestanding playground climber features a central dome surrounded by multiple ladder-style legs that invite children to climb, balance, navigate, and explore from different directions.

The open design gives children freedom to choose how they want to move through the structure. They can climb across the spider's legs, work their way toward the center, perch on different sections, or create their own routes. This variety encourages repeat play while giving children opportunities to challenge themselves as their climbing skills develop.

Climbing engages the entire body as children grip, reach, pull, step, balance, and shift their weight. These movements can help develop upper- and lower-body strength, coordination, balance, motor planning, spatial awareness, and overall body control. The unusual spider theme also encourages imaginative play, allowing the climber to become part of creative games and playground adventures.

Charlotte the Spider measures 12' x 3' x 12', weighs approximately 350 pounds, and requires a 29' x 29' use zone. Its commercial-grade materials are designed to withstand frequent use and outdoor conditions, making it well suited for schools, parks, child care centers, and community playgrounds.

Footer Options (Varies by Product)

In-Ground Mounting

This is the most common installation method for playground and shade structures. It involves digging holes and setting the posts directly into concrete that is poured during installation.

Surface Mount (Anchor Bolt)

With this method, posts are secured to an existing solid surface—typically concrete—using specialized base plates and anchor bolt hardware provided with the product.

Ground Spike

This is the simplest mounting option, using a sledgehammer to drive stakes through a footer plate to secure the posts in the desired location. Ground spikes are not recommended for sandy or loamy soil conditions and are only available for select product sets.

Are installation services available?

Is expedited shipping an option for my order?

How is the estimated lead time calculated?
