Abstract
An A-shaped playground climber is formed from a pair of spaced apart end pieces which include outer peripheral rims having eight flat surfaces. Extension legs extend from the vertical surfaces to the ground and steps bridge adjacent legs and diagonal surfaces of the end pieces to provide steps along each of the legs of the A-shape structure. A tube is received in axial openings in each of the end pieces and a slide extends from the top of one of the end pieces to the ground. A second embodiment is also A-shaped but comprises four pairs of end pieces, three pairs in abutting relationship on the ground with a fourth pair on top of the center pair on the ground. Pairs of extension legs bridge adjacent end pieces to provide continuous legs of the A-shaped structure and steps are provided therealong. A slide on one side of the A-shaped structure extends from the ground to the juncture of the abutting horizontal surfaces of the top and bottom center end pieces.
