Climbing is a great way to enhance body awareness, body scheme, motor planning and bilateral coordination. The child's body weight-combined with gravity-provides additional proprioceptive feedback to their joints as they climb. This feedback helps a child coordinate their movements, working towards increasingly complex motor planning events.
Coordinating their arms and legs (bilateral coordination) is enhanced as they climb up the ladder or rock wall and across the monkey bars, propel the scooter board, or pull themselves up the scooter board ramp. We have taken care to design this entire system to save our customers money by having the Infunity Climbing System ship via UPS, FedEx, or DHL instead of motor freight. This allows for convenience and keeps the unit within your budget. All In-FUN-ity (tm) components are made of high quality birch plywood, selected hardwood dowels, and are finished with a durable, high quality finish. Rest assured,high quality craftmanship is sure to last throughout years of use.
The fun starts with the Wall Ladder, which can be used alone, or as the basis for a larger, more challenging system. You can make climbing up and down part of an obstacle course, or you can have your client swing towards the ladder and try to grab a rung. The true value of this product comes when you build on to it, with some of the accessories.
Once you've mounted the Wall Ladder, enhance it's versatility by adding the Scooter board Ramp. Scooter Board Ramps are a must have for any gross-motor room, and the Scooter Board Ramp was designed to quickly fold in half, saving valuable space when not in use. The ramp consists of two parts, the platform half and the ramp half. The ramp half can be used independently from the platform, allowing it to be hooked directly to the Wall Ladder.
If you're trying to outfit your room with a climbing wall, look no further than the In-FUN-ity Climbing Wall. With 36 hand-hold locations and 20 climbing holds. Additionally the climbing wall can be hooked on any of the Wall Ladder rungs, allowing you to adjust the angle to adapt to the challenge level for clients of all abilities.
When you're ready to expand your climbing system the Expansion kit is just the beginning. The Expansion Kit consists of a four foot long overhead jungle gym and a free-standing ladder support end. The ladder support end is compatible with the Wall Ladder, and can therefore support both the climbing wall and ramp. The Expansion Kit is made of the same high quality materials as the Wall Ladder. You can also hook together multiple Expansion Kits to expand in multiple directions.
If a four foot jungle gym is not enough our four foot Jungle Gym Extender is the answer. You can choose to extend the existing unit to eight feet long by purchasing one of these units, or even twelve feet by purchasing two units. This can double or triple the challenge for any child or adult, and can be added individually at any time. The Jungle Gym Extender can only be added to an existing Expansion Kit. For safety and stability, we do not recommend extending the jungle gym past twelve feet in length.
Make your climbing system more interesting and challenging by adding additional Expansion Kits at a 90 degree angle to your existing one. This small enhancement will give you more options and allow you to custom tailor a larger system to fit your space.
A simple, highly effective and versatile tool, the In-FUN-ity Rope, challenges clients with many bilateral activities. Each rope is approximately 3/4 inch thick by 12 feet in length. Each Rope already has a built in loop making the attachment to the wood run simple and fast.
Measuring 6 inches thick, 30 inches wide, and 45 inches long, the Crash mat (not shown) was designed to fit each overhead section. The six inch thich polyurethane foam provides plenty of cushioning for your clients.
Our new Cut Out Climbing wall measures 80" long x 27" wide, and has 21 cutouts where your clients can insert hands and feet. This is designed for the child who is not fully comfortable using the standard "rocks" on most climbing walls. The hook-shaped top attaches easily to the In-FUN-ity Wall Ladder or the Expansion Kit Ladder. Since it can attach to any rung, you can adjust it to fit the abilities of your least adventurous clients.
The In-FUN-ity Climbing Net attaches easily to the "Jungle Gym" of the Expansion Kit or to the 48" long "Jungle Gym" Extender (152014). The 45" wide x 72" high net is made of flat and tubular nylon webbing and has side release buckles. Your clients receive additional proprioceptive input and body strengthening because the net sways slightly as the children climb.
The Steamroller Ramp can be attached to your In-FUN-ity system with the addition of the Steamroller Expansion Kit. This Expansion Kit Ladder has only five rungs, allowing an upper opening where the therapist can stand and supervise the action. Eliminating the higher rungs also eliminates the possibility of placing the steamroller too high for safety. Expansion Kit measures 81-1/2" high x 31" wide x 50" long.
We've come up with another addition to our In-FUN-ity System that's sure to please your clients - an adjustable Ladder Climbing Wall. Climbing is a great way to enhance body awareness, body scheme, motor planning and bilateral coordination. The proprioceptive feedback received from climbing helps the client coordinate his movements and work toward increasingly complex motor planning events.
The Ladder Climbing Wall hooks on to the In-FUN-ity Wall Ladder at any height you wish. This adjustability allows you to suit the angle to adapt to the challenge level of each of your clients. The Climbing Wall has 10 rungs and will support a working load of 300 lb. Dimensions: 80" L x 27" W.
The safety of your clients is dependent on the appropriate choice of activity to match, yet challenge their physical abilities. Use appropriate spotting/safety techniques. In addition, the layout of your activity area, proper installation and maintenance of your equipment is critical. Not intended for recreational or outdoor use. Under no condition should this equipment be used without proper supervision.
