The Wall Build

[@DaniloPuri1]

I loved that wall, I am seeing it for the first time to the video ... greetings from Argentina

[@vicofischer]

Wow that's awesome! That is the biggest "home" climbing wall I've ever seen!

[@Bozie32]

Damn that's awesome. How much did it cost to make something like this? How long did it take?

[@semezai]

This looks incredible! What type of fastener was used to connect the panels to the metal frame, and have they proven durable?

[@chantz7515]

This is awesome man!! I'd seriously pay you guys to build one for me! lol

[@chad498356]

would very much like to see pics of this filled with holds! Are there any photos somewhere on the net?

Hey was up man how bit is the shed you are using?

[@LucasWildTheeWildBoy]

What was the foot-print of your base? I am planning on building a 14'x14' shed and it seems like yours was right around that Length and Width? Also, any feedback on what you would change if you could?

[@LucasWildTheeWildBoy]

Also, What do you mean by 15 deg +30 deg, 14' rail? The the angle closer to the camera 15 degrees and the next angle is 30 degrees?

[@howunlikely]

@@LucasWildTheeWildBoy The building base was 18x20. The height at the peak was 16'. Be careful about fall clearance from the top rail to adjacent walls. The cave was a nice feature, but the headwall was too short. It was difficult to build and couldn't be extended out very far because it would be in the fall zone of the opposite wall. The angle close to the camera is 15 degrees off vertical, and the other is 30 degrees. The rail (top of wall) height is 14' from the ground. If you do anything this large, be sure to do your homework on the structure and/or hire a consultant or structural engineer, inspect your welds, use proper fasteners, and anchor the frame to the slab. Don't skimp on the floor thickness and budget appropriately. Asking someone who has experience with commercial walls will help. Make sure your concrete contractor pours a notched foundation for proper drainage. Use good insulation and get a quality, sealed roll-up door -- the heating and cooling loads can be huge depending on your local climate, so add margin to any HVAC contractor's sizing calculations. Make your friends sign a waiver. Good luck!

Short question how did you screw the wood to the frame?

[@JebOrr]

I used about 1200 self-tapping stainless flat-head Phillips screws, similar to this: www.mcmaster.com/94195a150 With 14 ga steel tube, it is necessary to pre-drill pilot holes after clamping the plywood to the frame, or the screws will often just wear out and not penetrate the steel. A drill guide is helpful, and plan to have several quality bits, lots of batteries, and a box of Phillips drivers as they will wear out quickly. Use about 1 screw per foot and reinforce 4'x8' spans of plywood with a center brace or X crossbars.

Can you post something of you climbing it or it now

Who did the engineering?

I just hit the dislike button because of the horrible music.
