A MUM has revealed how she made an incredible rock climbing wall inside her son’s bedroom for Christmas.
The creative DIY wall took just three weeks to make and the family spent £140 on the project.
Taking to the Facebook group DIY on a Budget, the proud mum shared photos of the room transformed for the big day.
The finished design showed a corner had been taken over by the climbing area, with colourful shapes being attached to a large wooden backboard.
The woman said: “For Christmas my little boy wanted his own room and a climbing wall.
“We managed to do it too in under 3 weeks.”
She shared how she spent £32 on climbing wall shapes, £30 a sheet for the hardwood, which was cut to size, and £6 for 100 t-nuts on amazon.
They also bought a sander and a drill to make the holes and ordered battens for the wall.
The mum implied they had been inspired to make their own wall after seeing how much a pre-made climbing section would have cost.
She explained: “The cost to buy just one precut and drilled sheet 1m x 1m was £120!
“And that didn’t include the hand holds!”
Her post and photos have only been up a few hours but have already racked up hundreds of likes from impressed homeowners.
We shared how a thrifty mum created an incredible playhouse under the stairs for her daughter using bargain items from B&Q for under £100.
And a mum-of-three transforms drab stairs on a budget by shopping at Ikea, The Range and in the B&Q sale.
