I was trying to think of a sheet of something that is:
- not too ugly aesthetically (paintable or clear)
- reasonably smooth
- stiff enough so as to distribute the force of their legs pushing off the wall.
I was thinking a sheet of acrylic maybe? Thicker sheets are pretty expensive. |
If you google Home Depot wall panels there are some expensive panels there. Keep looking and you will find some more reasonably priced options that are paintable.
Would be my suggestion.
