General idea of \u200b\u200bthe sports wall
Many parents believe that the time to equip a sports corner in the nursery comes only when the child went to school. However, children aged 2, 3 years old will already be able to climb the stairs, not to mention preschool children, so thinking about the acquisition of the Swedish wall is with the birth of a baby.
Currently, sports walls, the main element of which are the staircase, are produced in 2 options:
- structures immediately equipped with additional accessories such as a ring, horizontal bar, bars, rope, etc.;
- structures that can be equipped at their own discretion as the child grows up.
However, whatever the equipment, the sports wall for children of any age is a functional simulator that promotes active physical and mental development. The main thing is to approach the choice of the design and the elements included in its set.
Choice criteria
A wide range of sports walls, photos of which is presented in the article, differ not only in the manufacturer, but also by the method of fastening, material, the number of additional elements and other factors, which or another affect the cost of the design and the choice of the buyer.
The age of the child
The cost of the children's sports wall in the room largely depends on the number of accessories included in the set, so it is worth choosing a product, focusing on the age of the child:
- for a child from 1-3 years of age, a minimum set of elements in a design consisting of a ladder, a horizontal bar, which can also be supplemented with a slide, swing, rope staircase;
- for 3-7-year-old children, a more complicated complex complemented by rings, a rope, is required;
- from the age of 7, it is better to choose the complexation of the complex based on the preferences or hobbies of the child.
At the same time, for a child of any age group, along with a sports complex, it is necessary to purchase a mat, since the initial or subsequent acquaintance with the new corner will inevitably end in a fall.
Material for a sports wall
In the manufacture of sports walls, wood, metal, plastic, rope and other similar materials are used. However, racks and parts of the structure designed to withstand large loads are made from:
- Tree - stand out with high indicators of environmental friendliness and the ability to harmoniously fit into the interior of the room of any style orientation. Most manufacturers cover the wood with varnish, which protects the product from damage and prevents the production of seas during operation. However, in prolonged classes, a person swears, hands and soles of the legs also become wet, which causes an involuntary slippage of hands, which often ends with a fall. In addition, the diameter of the wooden crossbars significantly exceeds the diameter of the metal products, so it is quite difficult for a small child to completely grasp the crossbar of the stairs or horizontal bar to resist. Based on the type of wood used in the production of the structure, the maximum load on the complex varies between 60-130 kg.
- Metal - differ in durability and acceptable cost. Metal structures can withstand a load of up to 200 kg, so not only a child, but also an adult can engage in this corner. All metal elements of the product are painted with powdered compositions, preventing the appearance of rust and significantly increasing the operational period. Quite often, manufacturers protect the crossbars with rubber overlays that prevent the hands of hands in the process of classes.
Of course, it is more pleasant to the touch of wood products. However, caring for metal structures is much easier. In addition, prices are slightly lower for metal sports walls than in wooden, and in terms of durability, the tree is significantly inferior to the metal, demanding compliance with the optimal moist and temperature regime.
The method of fastening
Depending on the method of fixing the sports wall in the apartment, the following types of structures are distinguished:
- Reconciliated. In most cases, they are represented by wooden products that are fixed on the wall by means of anchor bolts. The main disadvantage is that the design of the prefabricated type cannot be attached to drywall.
- Spit. Unlike wallpaper, fixation of the spacer walls is carried out to the floor and ceiling by means of sliding jacks or spacer screws. The restriction of such models is the presence of a stretch ceiling.
- Awritten. Designs equipped with special mounts and jacks allow you to fix the Swedish sports wall both on the wall and between the floor and the ceiling, or use one type of fastener based on the conditions of future operation.
Type of design
The area allotted for the sports corner also provides no small importance when choosing the necessary option, since the wall, the sports complex equipped with various accessories, significantly differ in overall dimensions and are subdivided into:
- L-shaped designs-occupy a small area, so ideal for small-sized rooms.
- P-shaped structures-occupy a fairly large area and are suitable for installation in spacious rooms. At the same time, 2-3 children will be able to engage at the same time without interfering with each other.
- T-shaped constructions are something between previous options. The predominant feature of such models is the ability to approach the stairs from two sides.
Thus, buying a sports wall today, occupying a small space in the apartment, will not be difficult. The main thing is to pay attention to all kinds of nuances, up to the places of fasteners of individual components, since the protruding elements can easily injure the child in the process of classes.
Advantages from using a sports wall
At different ages, the perception of the world is significantly different. At the same time, the benefits of classes at the sports complex are manifested from an early age, because:
- prevention of flat feet, scoliosis is carried out;
- the coordination of movements improves;
- endurance is formed;

Of course, these are only a small part of the advantages associated with the acquisition of a sports wall, because each child is individual and to eliminate or adjust any diseases, the help of a qualified specialist or coach who will select the necessary set of exercises is required. The main task of the parents is to choose the right configuration of the sports wall, focusing on the financial capabilities and conditions of future operation.
