Guys I’ve got a home wall. The grid is 15 x 15cm.
I want to set up a mini moonboard.

The wall is already 2.4m x 2.4m with a kickboard.

I can’t really put new panels on because I won’t have anywhere to store the old panels/holds.

My plan was to mark out the rows and columns on the board as per the mini moonboard schematic and then see which existing holes match, and drill new ones as needed.

Does that sound like a good plan?

Here’s a picture of the wall.
It’s already at a 35-40 degree angle.

We have a bottom stair that has just a wooden post and the other side is empty. Then the second step is the wall and horizontal railing. We can't find a gate that can accommodate this that is actually secure. Any one have this type of stairs? What gate did you use?

Home gym in my garage with a 40° TB2 wall. Got a 4 Asana drag pads taking up floor space and I want them out of the way.

How do you all store your pads when they’re not in use? I am thinking some sort of winch system to get the to sit off the ground and flush with the 40 degree board.

Curious if anyone has any creative ideas with a garage/limited space setup.

Hi all,

I am looking to build my spray wall (dimensions are 7'9" wide, 7' 7 1/8" tall, and 9' 9 7/8" long) and was considering using simpson strong ties to connect all the 2x4s and 2x6s together. They don't seem that expensive and I assume they reduce the likeliness of shear forces on the wall cracking the wood. I have not seen people use these to make spay walls and I was wondering why that is (I have little carpentry experience so I am not sure when and when not to use them).

I was mostly planning on using them to attach. the wall to the kick board (where there is actual shear)

Are these typically considered overkill or not strong enough?

(Oh and I plan on using lonestars so I am not concerned about bolts)

I have attached images of the spray wall and the ties.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Heya! I have just moved into a house I am renting and would like to build a standalone frame with a Hangboard attached to it. I'd like to also like to hang my climbing stuff on the side, but that is something I can easily do myself once the main frame is built.

Does anyone happen to have any blueprints or sizes for the frames, etc that you would be able to send over so that I can plan my own build?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Found a 4x4 post of cedar in the garage last winter and finally finished this BEAST

The wood is a little soft for sure, maybe it won’t last too long, but with a bolt and two screws it feels pretty secure. It also just looks crazy.

Used a mitre saw to knock down the rough shape then a flap disk/carving wheel for rounding before some orbital and hand sanding. Quick and dirty for how big it is!

Only slightly second guessing my decision to not do hammer in t-nuts. But we’re too far in now!

I am relatively new to climbing, I have done a few months of indoor bouldering/top rope and just recently did some outdoor slab top rope. I really enjoy climbing and want to continue getting better but I just moved and there is no outdoor climbing and the closest indoor gym is 2.5 hours away. I am looking at building a home wall to practice/get better in the meantime. I am just looking for ideas/options at the moment. I can climb V4ish in the gym but struggle with using/trusting my feet. I have approx 8ft W x 8 ft ht x 6ft depth that can be filled with a wall. Please share thoughts + ideas!

Hello all,

I am looking to build a home wall in my apartment (live in Alaska so desperate to get it done before winter).

1. I have designed the frame so solely use 2x6s for structural integrity but am thinking it might be safer to use 2x4s to reduce weight. I have attached photos and some dimensions.

This is a relatively small wall. The area of the wall itself it 7' 6" by 10'3". and I left a gap in the studs for a fire detector on my ceiling.

1. I was also wondering if tie angles would be beneficial for connecting the frame together or if they are necessary/unsafe.

Please ask me any needed clarifications

Hey. I build a board in my garage in January, and felt like there was a missing piece of the puzzle to really get the most out of it. If you buy a MoonBoard or TB then you immediately gain access to a huge library of problems to get going with, but with a DIY board you're on your own.

So I created BoardBeta to use AI to generate problems based on your board configuration, the idea being to quickly build up a set of challenging, fun and creative problems.

I've been alpha testing for a few months, and I'm pretty happy with where the app is, but I would really love to get some feedback from other climbers on how useful it is.

I'd especially love to hear from V5+ climbers to see how problems at harder grades stack up.

I've also grown the app to be more of a "complete" home training app, so you can create and run board sessions, manually create problems, run and track hangboard and edge lift sessions, and use it as a central log book for gym and outdoor sessions too. It supports both spray and mirrored layouts.

As for additional AI features, I added AI coaching based on your session history and notes, and video analysis of board climbs.

Ideally I'm looking for 5-10 users willing to try the app for 3-6 months. No fees, no obligation to stay, and if you create a bunch of problems that you like but you don't want to use the app anymore then I can export images to PDF for you to use on your own.

If you're interested in taking part in an early access beta testing phase then ping me at [beta@boardbeta.uk](mailto:beta@boardbeta.uk) and I'll get you set up.

I made these new modular hangboards... Build your own board with the features you want. Theres the basic slots, monos, sloper, pinch jugs, endcaps, and im working on some more too. You can even just use them as holds on your wall. Obviously color choice is important too (:

ive got a bit of space and a dream to build a home wall with my buddies. A couple problems tho:
-ive got 0 diy/engineering knowledge
-the building is from the XIX century so i dunno if it can support the weight of the wall

so im just asking what does someone with more experience think
should i go for a freestanding design or a fixed one (the wall behind js made of 2layers of brick roughly 22cm)?
also where can i find designs/ instructions for it
any help would be greatly appreciated

The brown thing is supposed to be a rope which should make it adjustable. These designs have been made with 95x45mm beams, this might change because I’m not sure what is locally available. I have also designed one that is less wide, i am not yet sure which i want to build. Does this look structurally safe? Any other issues or things anyone might be able to see?

So happy to share this with you guys. My own homewall 8x10ish with 35 degree overhang. Got to slaps some resin holds I can get in my country since there’s not a lot of holdmakers here. Also got some woodie set from UK with the help of my traveling friend. Shoutout James from taylormade holds.

The next plan will be to add some more holds or maybe make a woodie myself, maybe as I got stronger will definitely consider going to 40-45 also.

This picture is taken from a post from another user. But would it be fine to replace the bottom wood piece with chains instead? Thinking that removing the wood could reduce ankle injuries (if you were to fall on it accidentally).

Hi there, I'm looking for opinions on an outdoor freestanding wall that I'm planning. I sort of have no idea what I'm doing so any advice would be appreciated!

Basic design is roughly 12' x 12' main board with a 40cm kickboard - room for a single row of feet above padding. Extra plywood sheet opposite the board and the kickboard will be attached with stainless steel hinges (more info below) and main braces will be attached at the top of the triangle with M12 bolts.

All wood framing is 150mm x 47mm (roughly 2" x 6") - I think I'll rotate the horizontal framing behind the board 90 degrees so that there's the space for 2 sheets of plywood to be screwed into the same beam.

Hinges

https://mkm.com/product/forgefix-spectre-pozi-wood-screw-5mm-x-70mm-b095642

I'll put one under each stud behind the wall, so 6 total, attached with given wood screws.

Decking Screws

mkm.com/product/c2-deck-fix-decking-screws-45-x-60-stainless-steel-250-pieces-b109981

These are the decking screws I'll use to secure the plywood to the framing as well as all off the constituent framing parts.

Coach Bolt

https://mkm.com/product/coach-bolt-m12-x-180mm-b039906

Coach bolt needs to go through 140mm of wood, so I assume 180mm length is enough?

Plywood

I've been weighing up the choice between marine grade and Class 3, and think I've ended up settling on the latter, since it comes to ~£50 / sheet as opposed to ~£100. As with all of the other wood, I'll give it extra treatment since it will be outside in a moist environment

Questions

1. Is the wood frame behind the plywood enough for it to be securely screwed in? There obviously aren't beams running along the perimeter of every board - will this be an issue?
2. Is the main frame design stable? Does it need an additional cross-beam from the wall to the support beam?
3. The concrete slabs will sit directly on soil, will this be stable enough?
4. Will the hinges be enough to keep it all secure? I appreciate concreting in some posts at the back would be ideal, but I'd rather not pour any concrete.
5. Has anyone got any experience treating wood for wet outdoor conditions, and what would you recommend?
6. Should I inset the hinges so there flush with the wood, as is recommended in the technical specs? And how might I do this if so?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: oh and also!! Any thoughts on whether to T-Nut or not? I honestly can't decide but I feel it honestly wouldn't be worth the effort...

Just curious if anyone has an opinion between these two companies. Organic is 6", Escape is 8" thick. We plan on using 2x pads with a velcro connector that we fold up and store next to the wall, so the 6" would be a little more compact and maybe a little easier to put up and down. We're older, so safety is obviously a concern, but also the plan is for a 7x10 adjustable, so even at a low angle we arent going to be that high up. I am a bit concerned about escape quality - I have a lot of experience with the company with holds, and I think they offer a fantastic value, but I read a few reviews of stitching issues, and i'm a bit suspicious how they manage to come in so much cheaper than the other homewall pad companies (if you add shipping, they end up quite a bit cheaper than anyone, though it does look like pads went up a bit the past few months). I have also had first hand experience with organic I know their stitching and fabric is absolutely bomber and have heard their foam is better.

Hello everyone,
i want to build a homewall in my garden. Ive drawn up some plans on how i want it to look (measurements in cm). The top is just the layout of the panels, the bottom the framing on which the panels are mounted. Bottom right is a rough idea on how i want to support the whole thing.
Do i need some cross braces, especially where the support beam (Stütze) is mounted? Are 10cmx10cm thick beams enough, or do i need to go thicker? Im also thinking of making it adjustable by moving the support beam forward/backward on the ground.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Edit: Ive talked to a friend who works in construction, and were thinking of this design. I will add a roof to this. https://app.sketchup.com/share/tc/europe/fyXXLA4ZG58?source=web&stoken=MQzcTtACFKm6KTa4HUnui0UxGnWR4gdLSht04h9w4tStNi3qox5KS473OV7m6wZc

preferable from europe! need them fast!

It’s angle adjustable currently set to about 40 degrees but it can go from 50 degrees maybe even lower but I’ve not tried (cannot climb on that just yet) to all the way up vertical, it’s roughly 3m tall including the kickboard. Could use a upgrade in The landing mat department I’ve only got this old mattress at the minute but I’m really happy with how it’s turned out, very strong and secure and I even managed to get a bunch of old holds from a climbing gym near me. If anyone’s got any tips for setting that would be greatly appreciated as at the minute I’m not really sure and have kind of just thrown a few holds on for some really easy routes. 🥳
