This set of Free Standing Mega Pod Climbers includes four vertical climbing posts (two with five steps and two with six) that can be arranged in any pattern, although it is recommended that they be installed close to each other. Since each of the pod steps is round, they can be climbed from any angle and on any side. Additionally, each of them has spaces to grip, allowing them to double as hand-holds. Children can climb up any one of the posts, two adjacent posts at once by placing one hand and one foot on each, or even move from one post to another mid-climb. These pod climbers offer children a remarkable amount of freedom to maneuver around in any direction they choose. Daring climbers will of course want to stand on the very top rung, which is why we’ve included a top post with convenient vertical handrails for them to hang onto. Multiple sets of climbing posts can be installed next to each other to create a forest of climbing opportunities.
