Typical Installation Time

Typical on-site installation takes approximately a day and a half. In most cases it is best to have the room off limits to students during the construction process. If this is not possible we can work around class schedules but it may lead to an extended installation schedule.

Framing Requirements

Vertical World climbing walls can be installed on almost any existing construction type including masonry and/or drywall with either metal stud or traditional 2x4 16" OC wood framing.

Typical Installation

Climbing Wall Installation Video

Whether you have Vertical World install your school climbing wall or not, viewing this short video may be very helpful in answering several of your questions.

We use a fully-framed Panel System

Our walls are backed with a frame. Our nearly 25 years of experience building climbing walls has reinforced our belief that all walls should have frames. A frame adds relatively little cost to the project and greatly increases ease of use, durability and maintainability of your wall. A frame is important because it allows the bolts used in mounting the climbing holds to extend beyond the back of the panel. This greatly simplifies the installation of the climbing holds.

A panel system is more cost effective, reconfigurable, maintainable, and allows for a higher level of quality control than seamless textured onsite systems.
