Step 1 - Designing Your Climbing Wall

The design of your wall is going to be a product of many variables including, but not limited to:  

• your budget; do it yourself or pay someone else?
• your level of building/carpentry skill and knowledge
• space available; do you rent the space or own it?
• primary user group
• location; basement, shed, 2nd floor, limitations
• goals for using the wall; is it for fun or some serious training?
• we are assuming your wall is not a commercial venture 

It is advisable to consult an engineer on your design.
