Climbing Wall: Wall steps, bridges and lounging platforms for your cat

With a climbing wall you can build your cat its very own route up the wall. Combine steps, bridges and platforms in whatever way suits your room.

Climbing Wall: Your cat conquers the wall

Cats love moving around up high and find their own paths across cupboards and shelves. A climbing wall gives this urge a safe route. It is made up of individual elements such as wall steps, bridges and lounging platforms that you mount directly on the wall. The result is a climbing landscape tailored exactly to your room and your cat, with plenty of variety for every day.

From single pieces to a whole landscape

The big advantage of a climbing wall is the freedom in how you set it up. You decide whether the route runs across the wall, climbs up in a corner or ends at a lookout by the window. Kerbl sets such as Monte Prado, Monte Falco or Anden contain several matching parts. Because the elements fit together, you can combine several sets and extend the landscape later. For indoor cats this brings lots of variety and exercise into everyday life.

Climb safely, relax in comfort

Plan the route beforehand on paper or with masking tape on the wall. The steps should be close enough together that your cat can jump comfortably without having to stretch. A clear way back down is important too, because dead ends make cats feel unsure. Mount the elements on a load-bearing wall and check the screws regularly. A lounging platform right at the top quickly becomes a favourite resting spot with a view.

Frequently asked questions

How far apart should the wall steps be?
As a guide, allow a height difference of about 30 to 40 centimetres between two steps. For kittens, older or heavy cats, it's better to plan smaller gaps. Feel free to test the route with your cat before you screw the last parts in place.

Is a climbing wall suitable for several cats?
Yes, as long as there are enough ways to get out of each other's way. Plan several routes up and down so the cats don't block each other's path. Two lounging platforms at a similar height help avoid squabbles over the best spot.

Can I connect a climbing wall to a cat tree?
That works well if the cat tree stands firmly and the distances are right. The cat tree then serves as the starting point, and the wall steps lead further up. This creates a bigger circuit that your cat will enjoy using to the full.

Climbing walls for your cat's own route

A climbing wall brings exercise into your cat's everyday life, especially if it lives indoors. Instead of a ready-made piece of furniture, you get individual elements such as wall steps, bridges and lounging platforms that you arrange freely on the wall. You can build a short stretch next to the sofa or a long route right across the living room. The sets differ in the number of parts and can be combined with one another, so your climbing landscape can grow as needed. Just make sure the gaps between the steps are easy for your cat to manage. Mounted on a solid wall, the elements are safe and carry your cat with every jump. Once at the top, a cosy lounging platform awaits with a view over the whole home. For many cats this spot quickly becomes a regular hangout.
