Traversing Walls & Playground Climbing Walls

TRAVERSING WALLS The kids Love them! They are safe and great value for money

Getting Them Active Turn an unused wall into a valuable asset. These brightly painted climbing walls attract the children and encourage active play. Our unique three colour traverses get more difficult as you move along. Moving the holds from time to time creates long term interest and challenge. Our panels are long lasting and come fully painted with climbing holds attached. ROSPA say the walls don't require safety flooring. Interaction We encourage painting of the walls by children. This helps them develop a sense of ownership and pride in their climbing wall. Work Experience Our original approach allows us to offer an opportunity for older, more responsible pupils to work with us on the project.

TRAVERSING WALLS:
We provide low height Playground Climbing Walls to enhance underused playgrounds or gymnasiums. These do not require safety flooring. The kids love them!!! They are SAFE and great VALUE for money.

Prices start from as low as £660 the longer the Playground Climbing Wall is the greater the Challenge!

We take an unused wall in a playground or gymnasium and transform it into a valuable resource for your pupil’s development. These Playground Climbing Walls help children develop coordination, teamwork, problem solving skills, trust, balance, strength and confidence. Such a resource can help develop an interest in the wider world of outdoor adventures.

Your Playground Climbing Walls can be varied and upgraded to continually add interest and new challenges to each generation of children. The only limits are your budget and the space available. We can advise on and build the best possible climbing wall for you.

Playground Climbing Walls are a specialist item and are reasonably costly however our costs are less than other manufacturers and this is passed on to our customers. Your Playground Climbing Walls long life span and ability to keep users endlessly challenged and interested makes them value for money as an investment in people.

Our price for Playground Climbing Walls will include the construction of a timber sub-frame to attach the climbing surface to. On the outside we will install a high quality brightly painted weather proofed surface.

At a minimum of 7 metres long a Playground Climbing Wall would give you a very good length for the young people to have a long term challenging and interesting climbing surface.
This will provide a valuable place to warm up and climb. We would use creative route setting to provide long-term challenges for the users and would incorporate different levels of holds to allow access to all ages of young people and paint the surface with bright colours.

We also provide a budget system for Playground Climbing Walls which costs £16.50 per hold unit fully fitted and requires a minimum of 8 holds per metre i.e. 5 meters wide = 40 holds@ £16.50 = £660 These need to be fitted to a suitable wall (one with a flat render free surface and in good repair) This system is less versatile and visually attractive but allows for a smaller budget.

"It is a genuine joy to see how much they are enjoying it, & only today having a 6 year old saying 'that's the best I've ever done!' while only being half-way along"
Keith Johnson Head Teacher.

SAFE
Most importantly they are safe when used responsibly because the footholds are no more than 500mm from the ground, below ROSPA’s recommended limit without necessary fall protection from above or below. In reality, the chances of falling off a picnic bench and hurting oneself are greater! Teachers need no special qualifications and do not need to supervise the Playground climbing walls.

SCHOOL DYNAMICS
The visual impact of these Playground Climbing Walls adds immeasurable worth to the dynamics of a school playground. These addictive walls draw the kids in and keep them fixated for days on end, offering unlimited play opportunities and games in competition with themselves and others as they make progress along the coloured holds. Murals can even be added.

PHYSICAL EXERCISE TARGETS
With the drive to encourage kids into more physical exercise and active participation in Outdoor Activities in schools these Playground Climbing Walls fulfill all the criteria set out in educational and government aims. Indeed, when you add in aspects of cooperation, team building, self esteem and communication skills which these walls undoubtedly encourage the kids to develop, you have an unbeatable value for money addition to your school, youth club or scout hall indoor or out.
