BERG PlayBase Wall: Compact, Wall-Mounted Climbing Frame

If you love the BERG PlayBase idea—one sleek frame that handles play, sport, and lounge—but your garden is tight on space, the BERG PlayBase Wall might be the perfect fit. It’s a wall-mounted version of the PlayBase system that keeps the familiar monkey-bar top and high bar for accessories, yet hugs a structural wall so it uses far less ground area than free-standing models.

BERG PlayBase Wall: The Compact, Wall-Mounted Frame That Still Does (Almost) Everything

This guide (for Trampolines Ireland readers) explains exactly what the Wall model is, what it can do, how it’s installed, how it compares with the Medium, Large and Extra-Large PlayBase frames, and when it’s the smartest choice for your home.

What is the BERG PlayBase Wall?

The Wall model is a 240 × 100 × 245 cm (L × W × H) steel PlayBase that mounts directly to a structural brick or concrete wall and fixes at ground level via base plates. It retains the signature PlayBase top section (with the monkey-bar run and high bar) so you can hang the same swings, rings and fitness gear you’d use on a free-standing frame—just in a far more compact footprint.

Key points at a glance:

Dimensions: 240 × 100 × 245 cm.
Mounting: Bolts to a structural brick/concrete wall; professional assessment/installation strongly advised; fasteners are not included (you choose the correct fixings for your wall substrate). Do not install on a freestanding wall or directly under a balcony/gutter.
Clearances: Keep a 2.2 m safe area around/under the frame (see manual diagrams).
Capacity: Up to 400 kg total frame load and 100 kg per user (same headline ratings as the larger frames).
Accessories: Uses the PlayBase click system; in general, frames accept up to three accessories at a time (follow the Wall manual’s “approved combinations”).
Materials: Galvanised steel with multiple coatings; Ø 89 mm tubes used across the range for stiffness and longevity.

What can you do with a Wall PlayBase?

Almost everything the larger frames do—just in less space. Families typically configure a Wall PlayBase with a mix of:

Play: classic swing, nest swing, wooden disc swing; climbing rope; gym rings; trapeze; climbing wall (check positioning rules).
Sport/Fitness: pull-up bar, dip station, boxing bag, basketball board (approved setups vary).
Lounge: hammock or nest swing as a chill spot (remove during storms/winter per accessory guidance).

Because accessory mounting on the Wall uses the same carabiner-based click system, you can swap setups in minutes—for example, rings after school, hammock in the evening.

Installation: how the Wall model differs

This is where the Wall stands apart from the dig-in PlayBase frames:

Wall-fixed, not buried: the Wall frame bolts to a structural wall and sits on base plates at ground level. The manual explicitly advises a professional wall assessment and choosing the correct fasteners (not supplied).
Clearance & siting: you still need the 2.2 m “safe-use” envelope around/under the frame; avoid sloped ground and obstacles like trees within that halo (see manual diagram).
No concrete footings are required for the free-standing PlayBase models because they’re dug-in and backfilled; the Wall version is a different install: it must be securely fixed to the wall and ground per the manual.

Tip: Because the wall substrate and fixings matter for safety, many families have a builder or installer handle the Wall model—especially on older brickwork.

How the Wall compares with the Medium, Large, and XL PlayBase frames

The family of frames share the same height and depth (245 cm high, 100 cm deep). The difference is length and anchoring. Here’s a practical comparison.

At-a-glance comparison table

Frame	Size (L × W × H)	Anchoring	Typical footprint & feel	Simultaneous accessories	Notes
Wall	240 × 100 × 245 cm	Wall-mounted (brick/concrete), base plates at ground	Minimal ground take-up; ideal along a boundary wall	Up to 3 (approved combos)	Best for urban/narrow spaces; requires pro-level wall fixing
Medium (M)	285 × 100 × 245 cm	Dig-in (no concrete needed)	Compact free-standing; suits small gardens	Up to 3	Quick to install with shovel & spirit level
Large (L)	380 × 100 × 245 cm	Dig-in (no concrete)	Longer bar for multi-user play/training	Up to 3 (more elbow-room)	Great “family all-rounder” length
Extra Large (XL)	470 × 100 × 245 cm	Dig-in (no concrete)	Longest bar; easiest to run 3 distinct stations	Up to 3 (most space to separate stations)	Best for big families/teens, sport + play zones

Pros and cons: Wall vs free-standing PlayBase

Why you’ll love the Wall

Saves ground space: hugs the wall; perfect for tight courtyards and slim city gardens.
All the essentials: monkey bar top + high bar = swings, rings, ropes, bag, etc., just like bigger frames.
Still modular: swap between play, sport and lounge via the same click-in system.

Trade-offs to consider

Requires a strong wall (brick/concrete) and correct fixings; pro install recommended. Do not mount on freestanding or weak walls.
Clearance still applies: you need the same 2.2 m usage halo as free-standing frames.
Less linear space than L/XL: still supports 3 accessories, but the longer bars of L/XL separate stations more comfortably.

When the BERG PlayBase Wall is the most suitable option

Choose the Wall when one or more of these is true:

Your garden is narrow or irregular, but you have a sound brick/concrete boundary or house wall available for fixing. The Wall uses 240 cm of length with only 100 cm depth, which is extremely space-efficient.
You can’t (or don’t want to) dig. Free-standing frames need a shallow dig-in; the Wall avoids this by fixing to the wall and ground plates. (You still need to prepare a level surface and respect clearances.)
You want a “zoned” garden where the play/fitness area sits neatly along a wall—leaving the centre lawn clear for ball games, pets or patio furniture.
You’re planning a multi-use courtyard (e.g., bikes and bins along one side, play/fitness along the other). The Wall tucks those rings and swings up and out of the way when not in use.
Urban overlook/privacy: the frame’s slim profile is less visually dominant than a full A-frame or timber set—especially useful near neighbours’ windows.

Do keep in mind the manual’s rules: not under a balcony/gutter, not on a freestanding wall, and always within the safe-use envelope.

What accessories work especially well on the Wall?

Nest or classic swing for all-ages use (remove in storms).
Gym rings / trapeze for upper-body coordination and core strength.
Climbing rope or rope ladder to add vertical challenge without consuming floor area.
Pull-up & dip bars / boxing bag for teen & adult training right in the garden.
Hammock for a calm corner (follow care/storage notes).
Climbing wall (bouldering-style): a brilliant confidence-builder—check placement rules for your frame.

Safety and siting notes (read before you buy)

Clear, level ground under and around the frame; follow the 2.2 m clearance and obstacle diagrams.
Wall condition matters: if in doubt, have a contractor confirm the wall’s structural integrity and select appropriate anchors (they’re not included with the frame).
Routine checks: scan fixings, carabiners and ropes monthly; remove soft accessories in severe weather. (Accessory manuals include care notes.)

How long will it last?

All PlayBase frames use a heavy-duty steel chassis with multiple protective coatings and Ø 89 mm tubes—designed for years outside in Irish weather. Register your frame within 1 month of purchase and you can extend the frame warranty to up to 13 years (accessories carry shorter terms).

Real-world layouts (Wall model)

Mini multi-station: rings + classic swing + dip bar. Rings go centre, swing to one side, dip station to the other. Children and teens can rotate in turn without crowding. (Follow approved combinations.)
After-school calm → energy: hammock for down-time; quick swap to boxing bag or rings for 10-minute bursts of movement.
Narrow-garden flow: nest swing on centre hooks, climbing rope to one side, rope ladder to the other—zero extra footprint into the garden.

Frequently asked questions

Will the Wall feel small compared to the Large/XL?
It’s shorter (240 cm), so you won’t have the same “three-stations-well-spaced” feel as XL (470 cm), but you can still run up to 3 accessories at a time using the approved combinations in the manual. If you have the room and want multiple users moving simultaneously with lots of elbow-room, consider Large or XL.

Can I install it on any wall?
No—only a structural brick or concrete wall. Avoid freestanding walls and areas under gutters or balconies; a professional assessment and correct fixings are strongly recommended.

Do I need the same “safe area” as the other frames?
Yes—keep a 2.2 m obstacle-free zone around and under the frame, just as with dig-in models.

Do the same accessories fit the Wall?
Most of the PlayBase ecosystem does, but always check the Wall’s approved combinations in the manual for simultaneous use and placement.

How does installation differ from Medium/Large/XL?
Free-standing PlayBases are dug in and require no concrete (a shovel and spirit level do the job). The Wall version is bolted to a structural wall and ground plates—so it’s a different procedure.

Bottom line: who should pick the Wall?

Choose the BERG PlayBase Wall if you want the PlayBase experience without sacrificing your garden’s centre space—for example, in a narrow Dublin terrace garden, a town garden where digging is awkward, or a paved courtyard with a solid masonry wall. You’ll still enjoy the same high build quality (Ø89 mm tubes, multi-coated steel), the same accessory ecosystem, and the same long warranty when you register—just in a tighter, wall-hugging package.

If you do have the length, Large and XL deliver more breathing room between stations and are better for multi-user sessions—but the Wall is the elegant answer when space is precious.
