Material for the sports wall

When manufacturing sports walls, wood, metal, plastic, rope and other similar materials are used. However, the racks and structural parts designed to withstand heavy loads are made of:

• Wood - stand out for high environmental performance and the ability to harmoniously fit into the interior of any style room. Most manufacturers cover the wood with varnish, which protects the product from damage and prevents splintering during operation. However, during prolonged occupations, a person sweats, hands and soles of the feet also become wet, which causes involuntary slip of the hands, which often results in a fall. In addition, the diameter of wooden bars significantly exceeds the diameter of metal products, so a small child is quite difficult to completely encircle the crossbar of the staircase or horizontal bar to stay. Based on the type of wood used in the construction, the maximum load on the complex varies between 60-130 kg.

• Metal - distinguished by their durability and acceptable cost. Metal structures are capable of withstanding loads of up to 200 kg, so it is not only the child, but also the adult, that can engage in such a corner. All metal elements of the product are painted with powdery compositions, preventing the appearance of rust and significantly increasing the operational period. Quite often, manufacturers protect the crossbeams with rubber pads that prevent the slipping of hands during training.

Of course, more pleasant to touch the products of wood. However, it is much easier to look after metal structures. In addition, prices for metal sports walls are slightly lower than for wooden ones, and wood is much inferior in terms of durability, requiring compliance with the optimum humidity and temperature conditions.

How to fix

Depending on the method of fixing the sports wall in the apartment, the following types of constructions are distinguished:

• Wall. In most cases, they are represented by wooden products, which are fixed on the wall by means of anchor bolts. The main drawback - the construction of the wall type can not be fastened to plasterboard.

• Spacers. Unlike the wall, the fixing of the spacer walls is carried out to the floor and ceiling by means of sliding jacks or spacer screws. The limitation when installing such models is the presence of a stretch ceiling.

• Wall-mounted spacers. The structures, equipped with special fasteners and jacks, allow to fix the Swedish sports wall both on the wall, and between the floor and ceiling, or use one type of fasteners, based on the conditions of future operation.

Type of construction

The area reserved for the sports corner is also of no small importance in choosing the required option, since the wall, the sports complex equipped with various accessories, differ considerably in overall dimensions and are divided into:

• L-shaped structures - occupy a small area,suitable for small rooms.

• U-shaped structures - occupy a large enough area and are suitable for installation in spacious rooms. At the same time, 2-3 children can be engaged at the same time, without interfering with each other.

• T-shaped designs - are something middle between the previous options. An advantageous feature of such models is the possibility of approaching the ladder from two sides.

Thus, to buy a sports wall today, occupying a small space in the apartment, it will not be difficult. The main thing is to pay attention to all sorts of nuances, up to the places of fastening individual components, since the protruding elements can easily injure the child in the process of training.
