Turn any wall into an Rock Climbing Wall!
Ako Playrooms’ Rectangular Climbing Panels are modular in design and can be configured in a variety of ways to create an indoor climbing wall for kids. Designed for homes, bedrooms, playrooms, and commercial spaces, these panels let you create a customised climbing wall that grows with your child.
