Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Fatmoose ActionArena Air XXL is a wooden climbing frame with a swing set, an apple green slide and a sandpit, listed at £919.99. It sits at number eight in this guide. The listing describes a 120 cm platform height, a climbing wall and net, a horizontal bar and suspension bridge, two swing seats, a 9 x 9 cm swing beam, 7 x 7 cm posts and a 10-year guarantee.
The number that stands out on this fiche is the 50 Kilograms maximum weight recommendation — on a frame the same listing says weighs 215 kg and measures 4.13D x 4.43W x 2.2H metres. That 50 kg figure is the one all six wooden Wickey and Fatmoose frames in this guide quote. There is a second mismatch in the ratings block: the listing shows 4.0 out of 5 from 72 ratings, but its five histogram bars add up to 100 (7, 5, 20, 14 and 54). A weighted average of those 100 entries comes to 4.03, which rounds to the 4.0 on display, so the star score fits the larger set rather than the smaller one. The brand is given as Fatmoose and the manufacturer as Wickey on the same listing. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this frame, not from any testing we have carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Didn't realise this was from America when ordered.. so was a bit worried but great solid climbing frame, delivered 2-3 weeks early, all the parts there, instructions easy to follow and to put together need a couple of people as the wood is heavy, so much to do on it my son loves this climbing frame and swings plays on it for hours”
Verified purchase“Easy to follow instructions and I got it built in approximately 4 hours. Some aspects require 2 people to move into place. I deviated from the instructions to make it more aesthetically pleasing. (The climbing wall should be at the front but then the inner area would be blocked from view).”
