I'd love to buildma woody but my basement is only head height (just!) Whats the minimum height you reckon for a woody? Obviously i could have one but is it worth it as the angle would be ridiculously steep and therefore not hugely climbable to be worth it?

Cheers

What you have there is a traditional cellar. 8ft ply sheets at 45^oish plus a 1ft kickboard. Get it built.

the maths is that 8ft at 45 deg takes up 5.65ft and then add the kickboard of 1ft - 6'8" total  - if your cellar is 6 ft high then do 50 deg plus 1 ft kick.

you could always have a tiny kickboard....

One or two old mattresses underneath completes the deal

yes it is worth it

don't forget a roof section at the end of it

Ill try n link to vid on my facebook that is my cellar. Its about 6'6" high, 55-60ish deg, 13 foot wide x 12 foot high with 20" kick board. Had it for 3 years and still use it regularily so it was well worth building. 55-60 is steep like, but with a big kicker it takes some of that off & it make sthe board seem bigger.

Do it.

Cheers for the info guys. Video doesn't work. Any screenshot you could paste in?

I read that 45 degree wasn't that great to train on unless uber-wad as you can't get away with small holds. But i suppose its better than nowt. I'll have a think if i can justify it seen as i live very close to Depot and don't use that as much as i should.
