Indoor Climbing Wall Idea



Thought I'd pass along this great idea for a kids playroom.   Found at Kajja.   Made of v shaped wood pieces.   Sand, paint and securely fastened with screws to the wall.   In new home construction it would be ideal to re-enforce the wall before installation.   Little boys especially, would love playing on this.   Read more at Kajja.
