Basecamp: who we are
Where the first set came from
We started with one problem: a sheet of plywood in a playroom and nothing good to bolt onto it. The grips available were either commercial holds sized for adult hands or toys that flexed under a four year old. The first TOPNEW set was thirty two holds in ten colors, with the hardware in the box, because that was the order we wanted to be able to place and could not.
Everything since has grown from the same wall. Strap-on kits for families with a tree instead of a panel, large playground pegs for toddlers, multi-size packs for the year a child outgrows a single shape, then the ropes, nets and stones that fill the ground around a climb.
How we write a page
Each set gets its own page, its own name and its own specification table — hold count, colors, material, load rating, what the mounting hardware is. Nothing is spun from a template, which is why two colorways of the same kit do not read identically here even though the mold is shared.
Customer notes are quoted word for word, never trimmed into praise. Where a set is new and has no notes yet, the page says there are none.
The seven shelves
Rock wall holds and tree kits are the heart of it. Ropes, nets and swings hang; balance stones, boards and handles cover the low, steady half of a course. Privacy screens and canopy weights finish the edges of a yard, display racks handle the indoor clutter, and a short garage line of headlights, plate brackets and tailgate clips carries over from where we started in molded plastic.
That spread looks odd on one site until you see it as one workshop: molds, resin, straps and hardware, pointed at whatever a family actually asks for.
