1. PREPARE THE PLYWOOD
• Use 3/4” ACX plywood for the sheeting. This is a high-grade, exterior plywood. Lower grades of
plywood have more voids in the inner layers, so it is quite possible to rip wing nuts right through the
sheeting while climbing. Nothing thinner than 3/4” is strong enough.
• On the back side of the plywood, draw 12 in. margins on the top and bottom and 4 in. margins on the
left and right (Figure 1).
• Complete a grid pattern by dividing the sheet of wood into 6 vertical segments and 11 horizontal
segments (Figure 2).
• Using a 7/16 in. wood safe bit, drill holes at EVERY OTHER intersection. Start at the bottom left and
work across then up (Figure 3).
• OPTIONAL: Paint the front of the panel with lead-free paint if desired.
2. SECURE THE HOLDS
• Insert the T nuts from the back of the panel until the back is flush with the plywood (Figure 4)
• Mount the climbing holds to the front of the panel by inserting the screw into the front of the hold and
screwing it into the T nuts. As you tighten the screw the T nut should penetrate the plywood until it is
flush with the back of the panel as shown in Figure 5 (A).
• To keep the holds in place, insert the wood screws into the smaller hole on the holds and secure it to
the wood as shown in Figure 5 (B).
• For rope holds, screw eyebolt into T nut and make sure it is parallel to the top and bottom of the
plywood. Then, slide the rope through the hole in the bolt until it is secured by the plastic stopper
(Figure 6). NOTE: The eyebolt alone is not to be used as a hold. To avoid finger entrapment, ropes
MUST be used when eyebolt is fixed to the wall.

3. INSTALL THE WALL
• Use a stud finder and mark the location of 3 adjacent studs on the wall where the climbing wall will
hang. Attach the 8 ft long 2 x 4’s to the studs with 3 in. #9 screws. Framing studs will run vertically
every 16 inches behind each wall, as well as at the top and bottom, to form the framework. An
eight-foot wide wall will require nine studs - seven vertical studs spaced 16 inches apart as well as a
top plate and bottom plate (Figure 7).
• While short, vertical walls can be framed with 2"x 4" studs, overhanging walls must use wider, stron-
ger framing materials. The required size of framing materials is determined by both their span and the
load they must bear. Slightly overhanging walls should use 2"x 6" or 2"x 8" studs
• Line up your panel against the strips and secure it to the strips with 3 in #9 screws (Figure 8).
• Use sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges or splinters.

4. ROUTE SETTING
• Once you get used to climbing, you can use the different color holds to create defined “routes” for
your wall.
• The closer together the holds are the easier the route. The larger the holds the easier the route.
• Professional climbing gyms will use tape to denote a particular route. Since your kit includes different
color holds, you can start by making a color coordinating route, but as you want to mix it up, you may
want to use holds from multiple colors. In that case, we suggest using an easily removable tape to
designate a specific route.
• Setting up routes allows you to create as many different challenges as you can imagine!

5. MAINTENANCE OF YOUR CLIMBING KIT
• The most common maintenance procedure you will need to perform on your climbing wall is tightening
and inspecting the holds.
• Remove any damaged or cracked holds immediately, even if the crack is very small. Holds will loosen
with surprising speed and regularity, especially when your wall is new, after temperature changes, or in a
humid environment. Spinning or broken holds can result in very dangerous falls, so it is important to
inspect and tighten them frequently.
• Periodically check bolts, screws, joints, and any other hardware on your wall for looseness, wear, or
damage. Look for signs of stress like expanding joints or seams, that may indicate that your wall requires
reinforcement or repair.
