Small Footprint. Big Adventures.
Every child deserves opportunities to climb, explore, and build confidence—no matter the size of their space.
- Compact Climbing Panels are designed to deliver all the developmental benefits of a climbing wall in a smaller, more versatile format. Ideal for playrooms, bedrooms, therapy spaces, and homeschool environments, these panels encourage active movement, problem-solving, and independent play while fitting comfortably into spaces where full-size climbing walls aren't practical.
- Featuring the same premium construction and educator-inspired design as our larger climbing systems, Compact Panels make active play accessible for growing families and smaller rooms. They are designed to integrate seamlessly with other Groh Active Play products to create a complete movement environment.

Installation Guide
Compact Climbing Panels are designed to mount directly to structurally sound wall framing using the included standard frame system.
Professional installation by a licensed and insured contractor is strongly recommended.
Compatible wall structures include:
- Wood studs
- Metal studs (with appropriate structural backing)
- Concrete
- CMU (Concrete Masonry Unit)
Panels should not be installed on brick or stone veneer.
Before installation:
- Locate all electrical outlets and wiring behind the installation area.
- Install only on approved structural surfaces.
- Follow all instructions in the Compact Climbing Panel Installation Guide.
- Always use an appropriate impact-attenuating surface beneath climbing equipment, such as Groh Safety Mats.
Installation of the standard frame should be planned horizontally to intersect 2+ wall studs. Panels can then be rotated to be installed vertically or horizontally, depending on your aesthetic preferences. The frame facilitates the minimum distance between your panel and your wall to install your climbing holds safely and securely.
