Quella for climbing is a passion that involves more and more people. To do it in the best way you need to know your body well and be ready to face your fears.

A climbing wall inside the house can, if well designed, become an excellent tool to free yourself from everyday stress when you return home in the evening. Let’s try to figure out how to design it.
Professional: David Hotson Architect It all starts with personal needs
Usable by everyone, adults and children, the wall must be commensurate with the needs of space. If you have an environment to be used for this activity, you can create, in the same environment, more walls for each type of climber. If this is not possible, it is possible to organize a simpler wall that will serve to relieve evening tensions or, in the morning, to recharge and recharge your batteries.
Professional: Stoneridge Builders Inc How to organize
it To design it, just create an organized succession of sockets and place them on a wall. To do this, you need to make a drawing in perspective or try to create an axonometric scheme with a 3D program.
The precise dimensions of the space within which you want to organize the wall and any elements present, such as openings, doors or other important systems, will be fundamental.
Professional: Paul Craig Photography Dimensions and structure
At this point, to get a clear idea, it will be good to represent the elements of the structure on which you will climb directly on the wall to understand the dimensions. It will be of fundamental importance to understand well the support of the wall and the type of weight that the surface will be able to support. This will also allow you to understand the type of panels to use.
Whether it is load-bearing masonry or framed structures in both conditions, it is essential to identify the suitable elements to support the new wall and the relative hooks. Knowing in advance if free climbing will be done on the wall or if ropes will be used will facilitate the realization. In the second case, in fact, it is necessary to understand where to anchor the rope and if this operation will be structurally possible. The best home facility
The one created with boulder panels, light and easy to install, is the most suitable solution for home projects. Ideal for surfaces that are not too high (no more than four meters), the sequence of panels with different inclinations will be fixed to the wall. The kit including the anchoring structure and all the necessary hardware can also be purchased online. Alternative solutions can also be made do-it-yourself, the final yield and duration of the structure in this case will be evaluated from time to time.

Once the structure has been completed, it is preferable to consult a professional climber to create the best climbing route. Finally, safety will be of fundamental importance. Mattresses of the right size and anchors must therefore be studied carefully. Furniture or protruding situations must be moved away from the space and if the wall is close to a window it will be advisable to make the glass of the frame safer.
