Using the Mad Rock Premium Triple - Fold Mad Climbing Pad is easy. Unroll it at the base of the climbing area. Make sure the ground is relatively flat to get the best use out of its large landing space. When you're done climbing, fold it back up and it's compact enough to fit in the back of your vehicle. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth after use. Avoid sharp objects that could puncture the foam. Also, remember this item can't be shipped to Australia, so plan your purchase accordingly.
