Create your own climbing wall!

Chances are, if you have kids at home, you flipped through our June issue and stopped in awe at one particularly out-of-this-world playroom. In a San Francisco home designed by Regan Baker, the children have run of the basement, which features a craft room, plush, kids-sized sofas, and, perhaps most impressively, a rope and rock-climbing wall. So how exactly, you might wonder, does one install such an incredible source of amusement in the home?

Adapt to Your Space.

"One of the great strengths in building a climbing wall is that it doesn’t have to be complicated and it can be made accessible in all kinds of spaces," says Honza. "You don’t need a minimum ceiling height." For lower ceilings, Honza suggests moving out horizontally, or adding volumes, forms that project outward from the wall for added terrain.
