Gubbies FAQ about DIY Climbing Wall

What about fall surfaces and safety of climbing walls for children?

Climbing facilities in public places must comply with the playground regulations for safety and fall surfaces. It is not required in private homes, but we recommend the following for those who want to build a climbing wall at home.

  • Do not build a climbing wall taller than 2.5 metres unless you use safety equipment in the form of climbing harnesses and ropes.
  • To ensure quality and safety, we recommend using climbing boards for the climbing wall.
  • Safety distance of 2.5 metres from the climbing wall, where there is no radiator or furniture.
  • Always have a mattress lying under the climbing wall that the kids can jump down onto and land softly on.
