Climb the Walls (Literally)
Indoor climbing walls turn energy into strength, coordination, and problem-solving skills. But they need proper installation - secured into studs, weight-rated fixings, and sensible fall zone planning.
💡 Pro tip: Position the wall so falls land on a clear area with crash mat - not onto furniture or toys.

🔧 Tools you'll need
- Stud finder
- Drill
- Socket set
- Spirit level
- Long coach bolts
📐 Safe installation
- Find studs (essential - don't skip this)
- Mark fixing positions
- Use coach bolts through panel into studs
- Check panel is secure before adding holds

⚠️ Common DIY mistakes

💡 Pro trick: Test the installation by hanging your own weight from it before letting children climb - if it holds you, it'll hold them.

Good to Know
🧗 Fall zone matters - children fall off climbing walls. That's normal and fine if they land on a crash mat in clear space. Plan for falls, not just climbing.
Installation includes:
- Panel mounting
- Hold positioning
- Fall zone check
- Safe use briefing
Also consider:
- Crash mat
- Additional holds
- Monkey bars
- Balance beam
Frequently Asked Questions
Can any wall take a climbing wall?
Needs a solid wall or access to studs. Standard plasterboard alone won't hold the weight of a climbing child. We check wall construction and find solid fixing points.
How high should it be?
Depends on ceiling height and child's age. We typically mount so the top holds are reachable but falls aren't from dangerous heights. Crash mats underneath are recommended.
Can you fit different hold patterns?
Yes - we can position holds for different difficulty levels or rearrange them as children progress. Changing hold layout is a simple job.
What about the crash mat?
Essential safety item. We can advise on sizing - the mat should extend beyond the climbing area to catch falls and sideways slips.
