Quick answer
The Avenlur Add-On Rock Wall Panel turns your 79" Modular Walnut play gym into a climbing challenge that builds motor skills. Here's how to install it and get your kids climbing safely.
Why add a rock wall panel to your play gym?
A climbing wall add-on gives children a new way to play without needing extra floor space. The Avenlur panel attaches directly to the 79" Modular Walnut frame, transforming it into a vertical adventure zone.
Rock climbing helps develop coordination, strength, and problem-solving as kids figure out hand and foot placement. It also encourages active, screen-free play indoors.
What to know before you start
The panel is made from premium New Zealand pine and designed to match the walnut finish of the modular gym. It can also be used as a standalone activity if you have a safe mounting surface.
Installation requires basic tools and two adults for lifting and alignment. The panel is heavy, so clear a workspace and have a helper ready.
How to install and use the Add-On Rock Wall Panel
- 1. Prepare your tools and workspace: You'll need a Phillips head screwdriver, a level, and a soft mat or carpet under the play area. Clear the floor around the modular gym so you have room to maneuver the panel. Common mistake: Skipping the level check can cause the panel to sit crooked, making climbing holds uneven. Always level before tightening.
- 2. Align the panel with the modular gym frame: With a helper, lift the rock wall panel and position it against the side of the 79" Modular Walnut gym. Line up the pre-drilled holes on the panel with the corresponding holes on the gym frame. Checkpoint: Ensure the panel is flush against the frame. Gaps can create pinch points or make the panel unstable.
- 3. Secure the panel using the included hardware: Insert the bolts through the aligned holes and tighten them with the screwdriver. Do not overtighten—snug is sufficient to avoid stripping the wood. Repeat for all connection points. Common mistake: Using power tools on high torque can strip the bolt head or crack the wood. Hand-tighten for control.
- 4. Test the stability before letting kids climb: Gently push and pull the panel to confirm it is firmly attached. Check that no bolts are loose and that the panel does not wobble. Place a soft mat underneath the climbing area. Checkpoint: If the panel moves at all, re-check alignment and tighten again. A stable panel is essential for safe climbing.
- 5. Teach proper climbing technique: Show your child how to use three points of contact (two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand) and to climb down instead of jumping. Start with the lower holds and work upward. Common mistake: Allowing kids to jump off the panel can lead to falls. Always enforce the climb-down rule.
