What you should know before building a DIY Home Climbing Wall

Tips for building a DIY home climbing wall.
I recently built an indoor home wall in the garage. We’re really happy with the build and have been having a great time setting bouldering circuits and routes. I thought I’d share my top tips and advice from the build and answer any questions that I received during the project.
From setting tips to deciding on an angle to how much it cost, this video goes into a little more detail on the diy climbing wall build and I hope you find it useful! 😀

You should make a climbing relate podcast Hannah - you have the most soothing and sweet voice ever!

[@ejl74]

I agree. Her voice is sweet!

[@ejl74]

My homewall has been a great addition to my climbing. I built it during Covid. I climb on it more than I do my local gym.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

That is awesome!

[@elisakinsey1086]

Love the woolly Christmas socks in the climbing shoes :) Would also enjoy watching a climbing progression video.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Haha they’re my warmest ones for when it gets so cold in the garage!!🤣

[@josephclimbs9495]

I've been wanting to build something like this in my garage, it's really cool to see you guys build it so simply. It would be so much fun to be able to climb everyday even when I couldn't make it to my gyn or the weather is bad. I'd most likely make by own holds out of wood, I have done lots of woodworking, so I think it would be fairly fun.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

It’s a great thing to have at home, and will hopefully mean we can train better and more often as we don’t have to travel to the gym as often! 😀

[@climbingsnufkin]

I love the home wall episodes :)

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

I’m glad! 😀

[@SnowmansApartment]

imagine if Ikea would sell variable angle home walls.. =D

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

That’s the future!

[@MythAvatar]

I'd buy one in a heart beat.

[@jonnes__4657]

It's maybe a good business idea? Selling prefabricated variable angle climbing walls... In the internet I cannot find any good wall-system. They are mostly for kids. .

[@SnowmansApartment]

@@jonnes__4657 seems like it, because lots of climbers would probably boy one right away.. But not for Ikea, because they would probably just sell about one wall per store per month or so, because this is such a niche. I think the wide boyz are working on a free standing home wall(no variable angles). Have also seen 1 or 2 other companies that sell them.

[@zachanderson9279]

Imagine if any manufacturer made adaptable wall systems that were affordable for the average person. You would make some good money for sure

[@neilballam8701]

An extension to the wall - move the 2 lights away from the wall and put some boards and holds on the ceiling. Would be a good alternative to variable angle wall.

I came from the climb smarter Facebook page. Just subscribed

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

That’s great to hear! Hope you enjoy the channel! 😀

[@jonnes__4657]

🐱‍👤 Normally the second one will be perfect. 🙏 I think I would buy the wall prefabricated from a carpenter and would build a variable angle wall. I'm planning that for next year outside at an existing nearly 4 m high brick wall. I expect lockdowns more often in the future, because viruses are everywhere... .

[@NickLiang]

The wall is very low, what kind of routes can you set? Maybe traverses and single dynamic moves? I wish I had that kind of space, I think I would use the limited to set up a variety of training tools for dead hangs and campus rather than a small wall.

[@tobywalter1990]

one thing you guys haven't discussed is cost of tools. Assuming Natahan's dad had all of these already but i think its important to note that this saved you guys tonnes of money. any idea roughly how much this would have added to the cost if you had to rent these tools yourself?

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

I’m not entirely sure what the tools would have cost to hire but you’re right that it would have bumped the cost up a fair amount! We’re really lucky that it wasn’t an added cost for us. ☺️

[@MrNicolas411]

nice homeboard, good choice to make one ;) t-nuts would probably be better yes..not the biggest cost after all, maybe a little more time , but now its gonna take more time to reset so you get that back ;)

[@mattbrash2084]

So cool you should come visit the brash shack some time

[@Shralps]

Do you find the 2.3m enough? My garage is a little lower than that.

[@kevedwards]

My garage is 2.3M and I love my board but it’s set to 35degrees which is a nice angle for endurance, 3 laps of a juggy route works out at around 30 moves on mine and 35 is a great angle for hard powerful problems. I think mine is 2.5 Mtrs wide of the top of my head.

[@jn42541]

strong 💪

🐱‍👤 Gym is open ?? It is closed until 6th January in my country... 😢 .
