Indoor Monkey Bars

Designer Wall or Ceiling Mounted Bars for Playrooms, Bedrooms & Home Gyms

Bring movement, strength-building, and joyful energy into your child’s space with these beautifully designed Shelfology Monkey Bars.

Thoughtfully engineered for both performance and aesthetics, these bars transform a wall or ceiling into an engaging climbing and hanging zone while maintaining the refined look of a well-designed playroom. The matte powder-coated finish, modern color palette, and clean concealed hardware create a polished, architectural appearance that blends seamlessly into sophisticated interiors.

Children naturally gravitate toward hanging, swinging, and climbing. These monkey bars provide a simple, beautiful way to encourage active play while helping kids develop strength, coordination, and confidence through movement.

The newest design features a slimmer mounting tab and hidden hardware for a cleaner, more seamless installation. The color-coated screws blend into the bar finish so the design feels intentional and elevated rather than overly industrial.

These bars can be installed on the wall or on the ceiling, making them a flexible solution for a variety of playroom layouts.

Simple. Functional. Beautiful.
