In season 2 episode 3 of Tiny House Nation, titled "204 Sq. Ft. Climbing Gym," hosts John Weisbarth and Zack Giffin collaborate with a couple who are avid rock climbers and own a gym. The couple wants to downsize their living space and create a mobile tiny home that doubles as a climbing wall.
The Tiny House Nation team has their work cut out for them with this unique project. They begin by building the foundation of the tiny house, which will need to support the weight of the climbing wall. The house is designed to be mobile, and the team creates a custom trailer to transport it around the country.
John and Zack use their expertise to maximize the compact living space of the tiny home. They install a lofted sleeping area above the kitchen, a drop-down table for dining, and a cozy seating area. The highlight of the home, of course, is the climbing wall, which is built inside and outside the tiny home.
To make the most of the space available, the Tiny House Nation team incorporates smart storage solutions throughout the home. This includes overhead bins for storing climbing gear and built-in cabinets for kitchen supplies. They also install a full bathroom and shower, making the tiny home livable for extended periods.
As with every project on Tiny House Nation, the team faces challenges along the way. They encounter setbacks with some of the materials, and the compact nature of the home requires careful planning and attention to detail. However, with their expertise and determination, John and Zack create a beautiful and functional tiny home that perfectly showcases the couple's love for climbing.
In the end, the couple is thrilled with their new mobile tiny home, which serves as both a living space and a climbing gym. They can now travel across the country with their passion for climbing, all while enjoying the comforts of home. Overall, this episode of Tiny House Nation showcases the innovation, creativity, and hard work that goes into building a custom tiny home.
