How I Built a Moonboard Climbing Wall at Home (Includes Materials and Costs)

[@SeanandSamsAdventures]

I love that you shared the mistakes that you made so that we dont make them too. Even though its not fun to admit its such a good learning lesson.

[@timothypham7358]

Your family is so nice to help you out so much!

[@lorieharris1723]

This is the best video I’ve seen explaining how to do this I swear hands down amazing!

[@1337aznpro]

Nice video dude. Looks like you have a rad family that likes to help. Lucky!!

[@urabagofcells2228]

yea so cool. even the dog and like 6 uncles!

[@VanNguyen-rc1yo]

really helpful and thorough tutorial!

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

This is freaking rad dude!!!! This will get you real strong, Ive always wanted to try out a 25 degree moon board 🤙

[@rjk4563]

It’s really nice to see that you use to climb at V3 and 40 degree wall is too much to you too at one point in time. It gives me hope!

[@thatcookie6009]

Nice tutorial best video I found over any else, keep up the great work

[@elliotmin6246]

Great vid. Your family is so supportive!

[@timmybatan583]

Give it up for the family coming together to help 👏

sick intro! happy climbing.

[@ryanb6049]

Great work

[@stevenphung]

Dude, sick man. That's some commitment

[@pablinquis]

Thx for sharing. Bless & enjoy

[@durisong9164]

Awesome! Thanks for the video 👍

[@alexisprudhomme9349]

Great video bud!

[@SeanandSamsAdventures]

This is super cool!

[@trungnguyen-ji8hw]

whta would have been helpful to you would be you putting all the boards on top of each other and drilling that way saves a little time

[@bossclimbs]

True! I just didnt have clamps so i didnt want to risk misaligning them haha

[@nathxnto3349]

how do you film your videos? that first clip was pretty cool.

[@bossclimbs]

I mainly used my iphone 11 for timelapse, gopro for climbing clips, and a insta360 one r for 360 videos (the tiny planet clip)!

[@davidcorkill5901]

Yo, sick board bro. I've made one myself but it's stuck at 45 degrees because of spatial issues ahahah, hope it's not too intense. Was going to ask when did you order your holds, it's taken more than 7 weeks for mine to come and seeing this has just made me cry a little :D

[@bossclimbs]

Hmm... not sure why! I bought my holds on 4/6/20 and they arrived on 4/10/20 which really surprised me, knowing that they shipped from Europe. I expected at least 3 weeks. It came so fast that I hadn't bought any of the wood supplies yet. Best of luck on your order!

[@MSHNKTRL]

what was the insulation for? The wood is already weatherproofed, and one could just use a tarp if they want to protect the t-nuts.

[@bossclimbs]

My uncle suggested it for sun protection. In retrospect, a tarp wouldve been better and more easily secured. Problem I faced is that the foam cant really be secured as tight to the board and can fall of with heavy wind.

[@MarkRobertsAU]

Great video man, thanks for the details. Just a question about your board being outside - are you worried that it will bend or wear out being exposed to the weather? I'm guessing you live somewhere it doesn't rain very much.

[@bossclimbs]

Hi Mark, I am worried that it might bend over time, so we did prime and paint it with exterior paint. I know some others have stained their board, which is probably better. I added the foam board in the back to insulate it to hopefully prevent warping from the heat during the day, but only time will tell. I think a tarp will work well too. I live in San Diego, and it doesn't rain a lot here. Just a lot of sun!

[@joegarza]

Sorry to butt in here. If you use pressure treated wood and marine grade plywood you'd have a board that would last for years in just about any climate. The exposed nature of the wood might seem like a bad thing, but it also allows it to dry evenly. Use high quality screws as well.

@@bossclimbshello SoCal neighbor! it’s been 4 years, how has the board stand to weather?

[@vefrog]

i luv this vid and u

[@masonbal37]

Awesome build! Looks like fun! Do you ever climb at the peoples wall in La Jolla?

[@bossclimbs]

Never been! Been really into bouldering at Mt. Woodson though!

[@mikeandjazzy209]

I love us! Asian families are the best!

[@ICutTheCake]

I'm curious about the need for insulation. Is that to protect the wall from warping in the sun?

[@bossclimbs]

Yes, but in hindsight, just a tarp would do! The insulation kind of breaks down over time, leaving foam mess laying around the yard.

[@ICutTheCake]

@@bossclimbs Okay, cool. Thanks!

[@jt_climbing]

wow that came out more expensive than i thought it would, there was a 2016 moonboard with proper gym mats on ebay for 1800£ the other day - if only i had the space :-(

[@Noold]

Bro! Hows your progress??!

[@xiaojiaxu1329]

how did you haul back the lumber from home depot with your subaru? ahhaha

[@bossclimbs]

I had to borrow my uncle's truck for the big lumber and plywood! I think I'd be able to do it with the Subaru too but i'd need to tie it down so much more (and still not feel as secure as using the truck haha).

[@84v7climbers7]

I did it in a Honda FIt.

[@bossclimbs]

@@84v7climbers7 mind blown. thats why i watched your tutorial before making mine LOL

[@84v7climbers7]

@@bossclimbs How are the four 2x4's holding up on the backside? If I had to go back and redo my moonboard I would add a 5th 2x4 length wise on the backside.

[@jiin5276]

for difficult sets and budget prices, only buy the foot holds

[@arminpierenz5167]

great job, i am thinking about building one by myself. but the condrete should be in the ground. like you did you can injure yourself by falling on it or stepping against it!

[@bossclimbs]

Exactly! I am going to modify it so that the two side beams support the top of the board rather than at the middle (14 ft 2x4 would do). It sucks whenever I climb on the sides of the board and fear falling and hitting them! Once i change it, those cement posts will definitely be covered up underground!

[@larss4119]

6b+ is a v4. Maybe you’re stronger than you think!

[@nathxnto3349]

look at the roof lol

[@George-nx8zu]

Damn... $1490 is still pretty expensive
