About Home Climbing Wall Guide

Who writes this UK home climbing wall guide, what we will not claim, and how to correct a figure.

Home Climbing Wall Guide is a planning site for adults fitting a climbing or bouldering wall into a UK garage, shed, loft or spare room. The question it answers is practical: will the panel fit, how is a fixing described, and what does a real product page actually state.

What we do

We read makers' instructions and product listings, date the check, and show the working. The fit planner uses the measurements you type and the prices you type. Sheet sizes are the 2440 × 1220 mm sheets sold in the UK. Angles for Moon, Tension and Kilter are the angles and layouts those makers publish.

The byline on every guide is the Home Climbing Wall Guide team.

What we do not do

We do not test holds, pads or hangboards, and we do not climb the walls we describe. A sentence that sounds like a personal trial is a mistake. Please tell us.

We do not sign off a structure. Overhangs, loft joists, stud walls and freestanding frames need a competent builder, and an engineer when the load is not obvious. Nothing here is a statement that a layout is safe.

We do not give medical advice. Finger injuries are a reason to stop and to speak to a clinician.

We do not give tax, planning or building-regulations advice. Where a shed or a new outbuilding might be a planning question, we say so and point at the council or the Planning Portal. Rules differ across the UK and they change.

Corrections

Makers change drawings and prices. If a figure on this site disagrees with the current page we linked, the maker is right and we want the note. Email webmaster.jarvis@gmail.com.
