as far as T-nuts I've never had a problem with spinners, but then again I've put a screw in the corner of each one to prevent spinning

Thinking about putting a small training wall into the garage, but space is limited. The back wall is 2.28m high x 1.6 m wide. There is a roof beam that sits back from the vertical at 0.84m. Some trig calcs give me a 20 degrees from vertical excluding the kickboard if I support the board off the beam, which seems logical and easy enough to do. Does this sound big enough to bother? And how does the angle sound? Is it worth putting a kickboard in?

Also have the option of putting a wall all the way down one side, which would give me a length of approx 10m, but limited to an angle of about 5 -10 degrees max, as would still like to get a car in. Is it worth doing as well?

Your thoughts please. Thanks.


I did the side wall thing a few years ago but put it on hinges at the bottom.  It folded back to put the car in but also allowed me to set a problem at one angle, do it and then make it 5 degrees steeper.... It was a very good training board.

Re- spinning T-nuts. The higher the quality(no. of layers) in the ply the better the bite of the nut. Simple SCIENCE.

people sometimes trail a bit of rope behind them so they can stop and clip when training endurance.

Legend has it that one endurance athlete had several mechanical puzzles on his board that had to be completed as part of the circuits.  This simulated the; place piece, fumble clip, panic, clip, shake out for five minutes, routine that folks used to act out on trad routes back in the day...

Hi all,
I'm going to be building a woodie to go into the lean-to, once it's cleared out. I'm looking for opinions on the layout I have come up with.
It will be used by me and my partner (who has only just started out).
The reason for the adjustable board is so that my partner can use it. This has been in the pipeline for a while, but with the birth of my daughter, everything was put on hold.

The lean-to is in a bit of a state at the moment, but will soon have it's roof replaced and timber treated. The woodie will be classed as an outdoor woodie.

Another very important detail I have not accounted for in the sketch is that it must be a freestanding structure, as the property is rented.

The space











Here is the link for a pdf download of my AutoCAD sketch

Please let me know your thoughts,opinions and ideas.

Be nice,

Gary

Id simply go with a 30 Deg wall along the whole length of the back wall. maximising height and length
The adjustable wall idea may seem a good idea now but you will loose valuable height when you want it steep.

weve just moved into our new house, and as its rented, where building a free standing woody!

cant wait to get it up over the coming weekend, but before we do, how sturdy can free standing woodies be. We had a moon board up at work and there was not movement at all. Im just hoping our a-frame design will provide simular levels of support.

any input greatly welcolme :D

Having just got this up and running it might be useful for anyone wanting to build a freestanding board.

Few pics attached and a couple of the diagrams:







If anyone has any pointers/training advice it would be appreciate as this is my first board!

The bottom board matrix looks ok, but the top board in shat, needs many more options.

Good point - I've pretty much just slapped these on (terrible pun in there!) so will have to make more varied.

I'm thinking you meant "is shit"? I'll have to get more holds on. I've got tons but kinda liking the idea of making a load from left over wood bits - of which i have many.

Anyone know of any training articles?

I meant Shat.  ;D

Not necessarily more holds, but more hold options. A more condensed matrix(of holes) as there is very little placement options on the top half..
Otherwise, good skills.
