Testimonials
Letter of recommendation: Sport Unplugged - Construction of a climbing wall at a private residence Mr George Stainton of Sport Unplugged was consulted to design and quote for the construction of a climbing wall at our home. A detailed inspection was done of the proposed building site and a very reasonable quote was offered. The climbing wall was constructed off-site, and assembly was completed within 2 and a half days. Mr Stainton communicated frequently regarding the progress of the project. 1. Professional building plans were drafted. 2. Quality construction materials were sourced at competitive prices. 3. Team members were punctual, polite, efficient and meticulous about the correct execution of building plans. 4. The building site was left spotless at the end of each working day. It was a pleasure working with the team of Sport Unplugged. We will certainly recommend Mr Stainton and his team for the design and construction of climbing walls.
