- Page 43 Maintaining Your Climbing Frame My climbing frame has been installed, what do I do next? A: If your climbing frame was installed in a grassed area the installers have concreted the frame into the ground. They have left a small, exposed hole, where the posts have been sunk into the ground. The reason this has been done is to allow the concrete to set overnight.
