Kids love climbing: A rock wall headboard

Wall organizer makes a fun kids rock climbing wall headboard.

I’m Camilla’s daddy, a handsome 3-year-old at 12 kgs.

I hacked the IKEA SKÅDIS wall organizer to become a functional headboard and at same time, a mini kids rock climbing wall.

IKEA SKÅDIS wall organizer

A kind of easy procedure with kids’ safety first in mind.

For this reason, I fixed the SKÅDIS pegboard with the original upper side fixing point. Then, I also added two more sustain at the bottom using a total of 4 Fisher wall plugs (each 4mm dia. with 20kg axial load, 80 kg total each board).

I bought separately some commercial wall rocks holds and fixed them with M8 screws and crimped washers on the hidden side.

I also added some random handles.

The full drill and mount required about one day.

The system is modular … so it is growing, is fun and adjustable. Under the wall/ headboard is the bed for a soft landing.

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.
