Max. user weight
The largest user weight for which the Swedish wall is designed; more precisely, the weight that it can be guaranteed to withstand without breaking, with the standard method of use for this model.
Usually, the maximum user weight is the maximum allowable load, regardless of how many people are on the Swedish wall. For example, on a children's model with a weight limit of 130 kg, two children weighing 40 kg each may well be — their total weight will be only 80 kg, this fits well into the permissible load. But in no case should this limit be exceeded, no matter how many people are on the structure: even if it does not break immediately, off-design loads will lead to increased wear, and a breakdown can occur at any time. Also note that if the maximum weight of the barbell is not separately given in the characteristics (see below), it should be assumed that the weight limit is indicated taking into account barbells, dumbbells and other weights that can be used in training. The exception is models with a bench press — they are usually designed for a fairly solid additional weight, even if this is not mentioned in the specifications. However, this applies only to the load on the bench itself, and anyway, it's ok to clarify the permissible values for additional weight separately (for example, according to the instructions or in the manufacturer's help desk).
It is worth choosing according to this indicator, taking into account how much weight the s...tructure has to be transferred in fact. At the same time, theoretically, the principle "the more — the better" is quite valid here. However, high reliability accordingly affects the price. Therefore, it is worth specifically looking for the most durable Swedish wall only if we are talking about an “adult” model for a public gym, where the group of potential users is unlimited and athletes can have a very large physique. But for personal or family use, a small margin of weight, 10-15 kg, is enough — and even then more "just in case" than out of real need.
Also note that individual elements of the Swedish wall may have their own weight restrictions: for example, for rings, gladiator nets and other ropes (see "Components"), the allowable weight may be less than for rigid structural parts.
Mount
The regular method of fastening the Swedish wall.
—
Wall. Fastening to the wall — usually with bolts or other similar fasteners. The advantage of such an installation is independence from the height of the ceiling — more precisely, the only requirement is that the Swedish wall fit under it in height. In other words, wall structures can be used in city apartments, gyms with high ceilings, and even outdoors — for example, at the outer wall of a sports club (however, it is worth noting that very few models can normally tolerate permanent outdoor installation). In addition, being close to the wall, the design takes up a minimum of space. However, it is impossible to get to it from the side of the wall. Nevertheless, given the layout of most Swedish walls, this shortcoming can hardly be called critical. But a definite disadvantage is the limited choice of location for installation — for example, it is impossible to put such a model in the middle of the room.
—
Floor-ceiling. With such an installation, the Swedish wall with the help of special “soles”, rests with force on the floor and ceiling, due to which it is securely held in place. The main advantage of floor-ceiling structures over wall structures is that they can be installed anywhere in the room, even right in the middle. On the other hand, such models are highly dependent on the height of the ceiling: most often they are made
...according to the standard 2.5 – 3 m of a city apartment, and installation may not be possible in higher rooms.
— Wall/floor-ceiling. Swedish walls, allowing both mounting options. See above for details on the methods themselves; here we note that in this case, we are most often talking about the presence of two separate modifications in one model — wall and floor-ceiling. In other words, both installation options are not found in one product at once, and before buying such a design, it is worth clarifying which method it is designed for.pull-up bar protrusion
The protrusion of the pull-up bar provided in the design of the Swedish wall; usually it is a
stationary pull-up bar(see "Components").
The protrusion is the distance from the pull-up bar to the ladder. The large protrusion is convenient in that it allows you to pull yourself up in such a way that when lifting your head is between the pull-up bar and the ladder — and this is perhaps the most popular position when pulling up on the Swedish wall, especially if you have to climb the pull-up bar on the ladder. On the other hand, a far-reaching pull-up is more difficult to reach. Therefore, the protrusion is usually chosen taking into account the age category of the product (see "Features") — for example, in children's models it rarely exceeds 70 cm, and in adults, it can be more than a metre.
