Own climbing wall
To make a climbing surface on your own, it is enough to prepare 15 mm plywood, a screwdriver and nuts.You choose the angle of inclination yourself, it all depends on your imagination. On the one hand, we drill timber to the plywood for fastening the sheet to the wall. From the outside we make holes for the hooks. You can arrange them at will, and the number varies from 6 to 12. The diameter of the hole must match the diameter of the nut. The outside of the plywood can be painted at will.
Hooks are sold ready-made at sports stores. You can choose a cheaper option and make hooks yourself from wood. Show a little imagination - and everything will turn out.
