Solid platforms and swinging ropes are good to provide for simulating trees. You can use ropes, vines, bamboo, tire and branches for them. A shelter area needs to be available for the spider monkey to use to get out of the sun, rain or other weather when they want to. Toys are important to keep from your pet monkey from getting bored.
