DIY Rock Climbing Wall Panel | Indoor Climbing Wall Panel | DIY Climbing Wall Gym for Kids Or Adults | Includes 3/8-16 T-Nuts for Climbing Hold Installation | Create a Fun and Challenging Play Area

What tiny size did you end up using Mercedes?

You will need to purchase their bolts if you want to use those boards. All the holds we purchased over 7 different brands and came with their bolts did not fit into those Tnuts. You either have to purchase theirs which they don’t provide with the board or replace the Tnuts. For the price they could include a bag of bolts to avoid this pain! From the photo you can see it doesn’t screw in. The board is good quality tho.

The board is good quality but BEWARE that when you buy the holds, you will have to buy 3/8-16 2"-2.5" socket head bolts separately. These go for $1.25 - $3.50 a pop (cheaper on amazon). There are 18 holes per board, so add ~$25 to the cost of the board and you will not be disappointed. All holds come with M10 bolts by default, which is close to 3/8, but not close enough.

We purchased these panels for our children for Christmas. We also purchased a set of holds with bolts and t-nuts. These holds were recommended on the page where I ordered the panels. It crossed my mind that the thread size/type of the bolts that came with the holds may not match the thread size/type of the t-nuts that came with the panels so I searched the specifications of the panels and found nothing about the t-nut size/type. So, I figured these people must know what they're doing and only included t-nuts that met the "industry standard" thread size/type and anyone who would be worried about something so stupid should not be purchasing these panels as they are not worthy of owning such a professional set of equipment. So, I purchased the set (panels and separate set of holds+bolts). On Christmas eve, we unpacked the panels, positioned them by the tree along with a box of holds/bolts that Santa was thoughtful enough to include. Fast forward a few hours after the initial Christmas gift opening, mom and dad had successfully installed the panels in our basement play gym. We invited the kids to help place the holds on the newly-installed panels while dad inserted the bolts. First one in, didn't feel right. I gave it a crank and it went in crooked and then just stopped moving. I tried another bolt, tried another t-nut hole, all futile attempts and my anger started to build up. Are you $*#&%^$ kidding me; these bolts' thread don't match the t-nuts in the freaking board!?!?!?!? So frustrating, especially since I was not naive enough to blindly trust that they'd match in the first place but was forced to "trust" the seller since no information was offered about the thread size/type. Very disappointing. I recommend the seller helps prevent such frustration with other customers and add the freaking thread size/type so they don't fall into the same trap that I did. Thanks, 2020 and, yes, thanks Obama!
