    Default Mini Climbing Wall for KindyGym

    Mini Climbing Wall for KindyGym program at the Boys & Girls Club.....
    Approx 1900mm high by 800mm wide....
    It's made to go over one of the bars with some protective foam of course....
    I've used 12mm ply with 4x1 ribbing....
    Works well and the kids have a ball....
    Cheers, crowie

    Bloody brilliant.

    Some suggestions for next time.
    Put more holes so holds can be swapped around to change difficulty
    Put colour coded climbs on for change in difficulty
    Put different climbs on each side.

    Thanks Bob, I followed instructions from the Head Gymnastics Coach in the design department, colourful and large holds was in the brief....
    The children who will use it are preschoolers, mainly 3 & 4 year old's..... Cheers, Peter

    You're certainly a busy little bee at the moment. Churning out one thing after another.
    I assume you can easily buy the hand/foot holds to use for these projects.
    Great work.

    You will have some happy little kids there Pete.
    When I was working (Kitchen cupboards) we had a customer who rang in having a whinge that her drawer fronts had "fallen off". I sent a bloke out to fix it and asked him to check if there was a small person in the house hold. The bloke came back verifying my initial cause of the problem. The little person in question had pulled out the drawers to make a set of steps to get onto the benchtop. The remedy of the problem was to screw the fronts on.
    Just do it!

    Kind regards Rod

    That looks great.

    Where do you buy the hand/foot holds from?

    The Boys & Girls Club had a small quantity of the hand/foot holds left over from an old climbing wall so that were free to the club; as to where you buy them, that'll need some research. Cheers, Peter
