    Rainbow Climbing Frames are Eco Friendly
    When purchasing a Rainbow Play System, you are making the environmentally correct choice. Rainbow Play Systems, Inc. is proud to be using timber, America's greatest renewable resource!

    We have chosen cedar and redwood for the same reasons homeowners choose them for their decks and siding. They both rank the highest in dimensional stability among commercially harvested woods, which means they split less, warp less, twist less and shrink less. They also hold paint better, and are virtually free of sticky pitch pockets and resins.

    Cedar and redwood are also naturally decay resistant, which means they do not have to be treated with possibly toxic chemicals to last for years outdoors. Our lumber purchasers visit the sawmills several times a year to select the highest quality lumber for your Rainbow Play System.

    Why Choose Rainbow? - Safety Features

    This exclusive design makes an excellent fort-like effect. By presenting the slats on our vertical rails perpendicular to the edge, the enclosure is made very strong, while allowing excellent visibility into the playset for parents.
