We make a children's sports corner with our own hands

For playing sports, it is enough to place the simplest shells in the nursery, which can be made independently.

Sizes of elements of the complex

Minimum set:

• horizontal bar;
• vertical ladder;
• horizontal ladder;
• inclined board;
• rope;
• rings;
• basket for a basketball.

Swedish wall assembly scheme

One square meter of area is enough to accommodate the complex. A sports corner for children in an apartment is located in the corner of the room, away from the sharp corners of the table or closet. If space permits, you can stylize the sports complex as the deck of a pirate ship or jungle. The more interesting the design of the structure, the more willingly the children will pay their attention to it.

If there is no room for placing the complex in the nursery, you can take it out into the corridor or loggia

Materials and tools for work:

• two beams of five, three meters each;
• smooth, well-processed shovel cuttings - five pieces;
• steel corners, self-tapping screws, anchor bolts;
• construction glue.
• thick clothesline;
• belts, ropes, mat;
• Tools for woodworking: saw, electric plane;
• drill, screwdriver;
• sanding paper.

Method of fastening a wooden horizontal bar

Manufacturing algorithm:

• The beam is cut to the height of the room, processed with a plane and emery. On one side, holes are drilled for inserting step cuttings.
• The cuttings are sawn to the desired length and inserted into the cuts. For a secure attachment, the ends of the cuttings are processed with glue.
• Metal corners are attached to the finished ladder. After that, the whole structure is fixed to the wall or ceiling.
• For a removable horizontal bar, a triangular frame with a crossbar is being prepared. To hang the horizontal bar at different heights, hinges are attached to it.
• The rings are tied with a rope to the staples.
• A rope ladder is made of rope or jute rope with a diameter of one centimeter. Holes are drilled in the cuttings, into which the rope is inserted. For fixation, knots are tied.
• As a mat, you can use a sheet of dense foam rubber, placed in a cover made of synthetic material.

The sports corner can be placed in any convenient place

Tips for parents

It is better to place the corner with the prospect of its gradual addition with new shells. It will not be very convenient to re-drill the fasteners for the stairs or rings every time.It is important to fix the structure as firmly as possible. In order not to spoil the floors, you can use special "shoes" and rubber goods or fix a metal strip and screw everything else to it.

If there is not enough space in the room, you can combine sports equipment with furniture.

Healthy child - happy parents

To organize a sports corner for children in the apartment does not require a lot of space - just one or two square meters of area. The shells, selected for the age and height of the child, will help the child to develop harmoniously, to develop the correct posture.

Physical activity is necessary for children of any age, their energy must be directed to sports

An hour of active activity will help a moody hyperactive child fall asleep faster. And the parents themselves would not hurt to keep their child company in sports and set a good example.
