Why build a monkey bar with wooden sides?
My Xorbars monkey bars use timber side rails with smart metal brackets — and it makes a big difference:
- Custom Lengths: Cut the timber to fit your space — up to 3.5 m. Unlike fixed metal sides, you can go longer or shorter without hassle.
- Bars Stay Perfectly Aligned: The brackets keep every bar flush, so climbing, swinging, or adding extra bars and accessories is simple and safe.
- Sturdy and Neat: Timber sides plus brackets give a stable, level structure that looks professional and won’t twist or sag.
- Easy to Extend: Want to add bars later? No problem — the flush design makes it easy to expand while keeping everything perfectly aligned.
Smart, safe, and flexible — this design lets you create a monkey bar that works for your space and your kids.
