How To Build A Bouldering Wall In Your Home

[@artbyblake]

I am kinda seeing now how he ended up living in a storage unit

[@jusrayne]

Blake Schulz lol

[@kimpierre7977]

🙄so this is what you do when RENTING someone else's property 😞

[@dfnkjaws]

He lived in the storage unit BEFORE he got this apartment.

[@busa89]

Word of advice, never rent anything to this guy lol

[@RexRogersBeats]

busa89 lmaooo “you said I could drill holes if I patched them after”

[@busa89]

@@rajeshkakadia8605 Yeah the guy who used to live in a storage unit bought an apartment lol. Youre hilarious. Also you buy a condo, you rent an apartment.

[@weaddictedtoperception]

nah the joke is landlords are actually trash

[@tblends]

No joke, i was thinking the same thing.

[@nixonari9742]

you all prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any help you can give me.

[@jstrmbringer9092]

I think this is awesome, screw all the haters. In all honesty , the dude really didnt wreck anything, or put all that many holes in the wall, the entire set up can be taken down in a few hours with little damage to walls, all u would have to do is cover the holes and add a fresh coat of paint and it would be as good as new.

[@NBejiaFlor]

I think you deserve more praise for this clearly rad build. It's a thing of beauty.

[@rubberband9570]

A landlords nightmare this guy is

[@sarahdell4042]

This can all easily be reversible, with minimal work to patch up any holes. I own multiple rentals, trust me. This guy is the least of your concerns.

[@sarahdell4042]

CoLew Exactly. Usually the people who put a lot of work into the living space, are the easiest to deal with. I used to own multiple rentals, but it became too much of a hassle. Even with a property manager, etc. Not for me!

[@atariks1475]

Are u not allowed to make reversible changes to your flat or apartment in US or Canada? In Germany your landlord can't tell u to not do this kind of stuff. If it's not a permanent build or endanger the overall safety of the building u can do that.

[@rbaleksandar]

I don't think so. Sure, there are a couple of holes here and there but nothing that can't be easily fixed. Most of the construction is on the wood. Now if it was the other way around that would be a problem!

[@JacobGenereux]

Some lease contracts will have a clause about not screwing or nailing things through the drywall. At the very least you may lose your deposit

[@kalelanphere7215]

did you ask the landlord before this build just curious on how he took it lol

[@ChrisK0z]

I'm pretty sure this is what my neighbor has been doing the last few weeks.. thanks...

[@travisgrogan1954]

This has to be one of the most thorough how-to videos on KZbin! Thanks for sharing.

[@Epmenard]

Nice video. thanks. 2 quick tips for finding studs if you have baseboards and no stud finders: remove the baseboard and hammer some small nails in every 1.5 inches until you find it. The holes will be hidden by the baseboard once you nail it back. The other tip is via electrical outlets. They are always mounted next to a stud, so you can unscrew the cover and figure out on which side it's located. Then measure 16 inches for the next one.

[@frankw8876]

Even though I have three of the electronic one, I found best is neodymium magnet as sheetrock screws don’t penetrate below the outer paper surface. To prevent hold rotation, maybe a little silicone caulk on the backside to add friction - let it dry for reuse later. Most of the time Phillips head screws are fine, just predrilled and use an impact driver. Nice wall, hope the landlord don’t mind.

[@wendycooluris]

Frank, we were thinking of painting the plywood with a textured rubbery type paint...do you think it would work?

[@Spearit578]

thanks a lot, I appreciate that you detailed the process thoroughly

[@barryodonnell4860]

Way to get after it stud!!! I'm super impressed with your drive. I'm building my own home wall as we speak so i can really appreciate all the hard work and patience that goes into this kind of project. GREAT JOB!

[@lukejap11]

Guess you're not living in a storage unit anymore

[@ravenlara7013]

this looks really cool. I was planning on building a wall in my future house so this video was very helpful thanks.

[@TannerCLynn]

dude you're the coolest man alive

[@hardrockxxl]

I just finished my own climbing wall:D if you are still looking for holds, you may want to ask at a nearby climbing gym for old holds - they often sell them really cheap or you may even get them free

[@fredgarvinMP]

Rare earth magnet is THE BEST way to find studs in a drywalled wall. Works very well in lath/plaster as well. Studfinders are for the birds.

[@minikretz1]

Absolutely amazing video. Lots of great info, and love that you included multiple options

[@lth1072]

I would love to see this guys house if he ever buys a decent sized family home. Very inventive person

[@LukasDamgaard]

While one part of me can't wait to build something similar, the other part just calculated the price equals three years of subscription to my bouldering gym.. Soo I guess not. Great job tho !

[@swiftset]

iirc he didn't say anything about doing this to save money. imo, he's probably more comfortable working out at home alone than at a gym around others.

[@hewgoba]

GREAT JOB please continue sharing your passion thanks from the Philippines

[@Thedoodahman_]

If you built this in 2021 I would have reason to believe you are a millionaire

[@Liedragon]

We didn't ask the Land lord when we built ours, He lives next door. When he popped round to see what all the fuss was about he asked could his grandchildren come and climb : )

[@createaplayer9415]

Matador really

lmao

[@sqaulkwithsqueed5525]

If only half of the people commenting would work as hard as this man we would be set, im sure if he has this much work ethic he is not homeless. Watching a video to hate on it is ridiculous, if your not interested move on

[@snoboard4yahweh]

Sick! Thanks for sharing! My husband and I are getting ready to buy a house and I will be building one in our garage or basement. I can't wait to be able to train even when we have a baby and I can't wait for my kids to have fun on our creation!

[@alexleonard3561]

Great build! I love the angles - you've got a little bit of everything to keep your wall interesting for a long time. As far as set screws go, it's only a minor inconvenience if your holds don't come with pre-drilled holes for screw placement. Often the simplest approach to prevent a hold from spinning is to just wedge a secondary hold (usually just a foot chip) against the primary hold along the axis of rotation. This will lessen the need for set screws in general, which will keep your wall free of unnecessary screw holes.

[@natearch80]

The quickest way to find a stud is to look at an outlet. There will be a stud on one side of the outlet. Once you find the stud use a tape measure and extend it making sure that a 16 inch number is on that stud.

[@lachlanchapman3928]

This is amazing. Don't listen to the hate comments.

[@mikegustafson6679]

I bet your landlord loved this!

[@JasonEBrown-md2wc]

I'd be proud of this video if I made it (and the boulder wall). +1 for the helpful commentary as opposed to annoying music.

[@joblack5138]

Definitely over engineered, but better over than under. I think $2000 is testimony to the build quality also. Love the video, loads of detail, time lapse was done well and voice over was great.....two quick questions - 1. Do you own your own place? and 2. Are your neighbours still friendly?....Anyways....legend!

[@arthurcurry1910]

dam was really hoping for the finished product and you fuking around on it, but i guess itll be in the next vid. pretty cool

[@007craft]

I do plan to make a video in the future with a compilation of different workouts I do in my gym, including some climbing on the wall.

[@JarheadATLAS]

Heres a sentence of mein wisdom Let this gut rent anything. He is a magician who makes freaking stuff appear!

[@Tr0picalTim]

Great video. I'm with ya on everything but bumming mattresses, ish.

[@michaelwilkens6865]

Another method to get smells out of mattresses is an ozone generator. You can get one from Amazon for $70. This is what hotels use to get cigarette smoke out of rooms, & for getting smoke damage smell out of a house after a fire. I bought and used one for a car bought from a heavy smoker. It works great. They need to be used in a closed room/space. You set a timer, let it do its thing, then you have to let the space air out before returning. You don't want to breathe this stuff in the levels it takes to get smells out of fabric. Read manufacturers directions.

[@VisionRopeAccess]

Great video. Glad you spend 2min on how to find a stud ;)

[@JanFlycaster]

just letting everyone and you know, in order to be safe from oganic fumes, you will need a charcoal filter mask (not the one used in the video). That one is for particles only and organic fumes will mostly be composed of gases instead of particles

[@Andrew-sq9yw]

Seems like he is on top of it. I assume he talked to the necessary person before taking on a construction of this size. Great video! But also RIP landlord.

[@fightingback7185]

Well done dude. Looks good

[@christopherteran6209]

Great! I'm planning on builing one but in my country it's very unlikely i could find those holds. Any idea on how i could make them with easy access materials? Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@MaxMakerChannel]

If you ever want to add texture to it, I made an instructable and a short video showing you how to get a climbing wall finish.

[@dragon3047]

I know it has been over a year now, but you should try Kilter grips if you are looking for some amazing holds. Great work on this by the way.

[@robertsonr1]

I recommend you read your landlord and tenant contract on allowable construction in a rental.

[@MaryNAdam]

Wa Weekenders who cares!

[@robertsonr1]

MaryNAdam I do. Being a landlord and having to repair the damage comes out of our pocket. The tenants usually don't cover it. Requiring the land lord to raise prices for future tenants. So when you ask who cares. Renters paying higher prices and landlords should care.

[@xRagingxRecon]

Dont worry he was living in a storage shed for 2 mouths

[@skygodley]

Thanks the video! Love your wall! You’ve inspired me to build my own!

[@avail138]

You can get an annual membership to a rock climbing gym for a lot less money. That has the added benefit of more variety and the chance to meet cool people. I applaud your efforts but it seems like too much effort and not enough payoff.

[@snoboard4yahweh]

It isn't that easy for everyone. I'm thankful this is up. My husband and I are getting ready to start a family and being a mom makes getting to the gym tough (assuming we have one available). I'm looking forward to building a wall in my garage or basement in the home we are getting ready to buy! It will make it easy for me to continue to train with a baby and make a great place for my kids to grow and learn.

[@vn.ninefive]

Reminds me of Steve-O’s mini skate park he built inside his apartment

[@gwen-fl7mh]

Very cool! I'd love to do it also into my accomodation as soon as I can

[@robbepinsart4240]

Very nice project, but to pitty that you didnt use the space at the side of the biggest wall. You could have placed a pole and attach a cheat of plywood there for extra routes

[@yipinyourface]

Super thurough! Loved the explanation of your process!

[@insanenative445]

Why I'd u stop making videos. I luv this channel just bumped into today

[@dakoko5959]

The best advice so far! Thanx man! :)

[@SebastiaanMollema]

Nice video, i like the idea! Some things I didn't know yet! Maybe an FAQ: how long did the build took?

[@Michael-zl5id]

This is cool but the money you spent could have given you a 4 year member ship at the rock climbing building where I live

[@dereksavage2760]

bro the possible storage up behind that angle is killing me

Wait i just noticed your the guy who lived in a storage. Your reminding me of the climbers who lived in camp 4 in Yosemite.

[@evanlikesevs]

go to Purdue, they have a climbing gym

[@davidhong12]

For the fall zone, is there an affordable and safe alternative to laying out multiple crashpads? My wall will be indoors (garage) so have space to store away right next to it. Thanks for the help!

this is unreal great job!

[@gorak9000]

Haha, "Robson" head screws, huh bud? Do you know how to get bourbon stains out of ka-hakey pants? I hear that's a popular question on the assistant park supervisor exam! Might want to stock up on some jal-apeno chips too! I think i hear the winds of shit blowing... In the end it's all just water under the fridge anyway

[@dabtimedaily5373]

great videos man

[@SuedeNWings]

I’m more confused why not just build like a spray wall which is probably loads easier to setup and cheaper?

[@ericbillion3731]

Question: why didn’t you install the wall hold before mounting the plywood to the wall?
