setting up a board in a flat
August 12, 2012, 10:41:25 am
so i'm wanting to build a board (moon board style, just a bit narrower due to space) in the flat, has anyone else got any experience with this (finding joists, structural issues, it making too much noise etc etc) that they could share? cheers

I am sure there an old beastmaker video were they had a board set up in a bedroom?!?!?!? I am sure someone else will remember this and provide a link for inspiration!

Nibile's board is precisely what you should look to emulate given similar flanking wall conditions. I'm sure the main man will see this and offer some wisdom.

I didn't touch the walls, just jammed the beams from a low corner to the opposite one and put some vertical ones to support the weight. In the Non Quality vids you can see it finished.
