Installing an indoor climbing wall

Question

We want to install an indoor climbing wall to our child's bedroom. What kind of tradesperson would we need? Is it simply a handyman? Or do we need a specialist? We want to ensure the wall can hold enough weight to last until teens (if they still want it then). Any advice would be appreciated.

In short, the best tradesman would most likely be a builder or handyman. In order to make certain it will hold the weight ask the manufacturer to recommend fixings you will need to  find out what sort of wall it is going on stud walling or solid masonry. Your builder or tradesman will be able to follow these recommendations or should be able to recommend correct fixings.

If its prefabricated set up it comes with pretty simple instructions and handyman would be all you need to put it in place. BUT if you want to build and fit it in to your own specification I would recommend finding a more specialized service.

Mark · Answer

It really depends on the type of wall you want to fix it to. If it's plaster board or block work then it might not take the weight. If it is brick and plaster then the wall should be strong enough, depends of the weight being put on it.

To support the weight of a climbing wall I would strengthen the wall first and not just fit footpegs to a stud wall, it’s easily enough done.

A general handyman can do this job it’s not a hard job

Andy · Answer

Firstly I can do that job as a carpenter/handyman and other skilled carpenters and handymen should be able to do it too. Secondly, it needs to be a brick wall and not a plasterboard one.

Paul · Answer

This is a job for the joiner as your bedroom walls may need to be strengthened before anything is done especially if your hoping to have a teenagers weight use it and of course u wouldn’t want it coming away from the wall so yes best man is the joiner

A general handyman should be able to complete this job. Anyone competent really

Jason · Answer

Hi there, a handyman would be fine, depending on the type of wall will determine which fixings you would use.

Anthony · Answer

It depends a lot on the type and the place where its going. (Wall type)
Pre fab wall going on a solid wall should be a easy install for most Handymen.
Pre fab on a not so solid wall then I would recommend asking a builder.
Custom wall on a solid wall would make sure the Handyman knows what he is getting involved in.

(load bearing walls are built stronger and will take the strain)
