If you have some spare time and you’re looking to fill up some empty space around your house, consider building a climbing wall.

CLIMBERS ARE enthusiastic people. What better way to hone some climbing talent than to set up a wall right in the comfort of your home? No matter the weather conditions, it’s always a great time to climb from inside a garage!

The following video follows the construction of a wall inside somebody’s home. Apparently, designing a good wall can cost as little as $400 with the right materials. Just ensure you have the handy know-how to take on such a plan, and follow instructions closely. Having a mattress present on the floor to cushion any nasty falls isn’t such a bad idea either.
