Here is some of my wall, sorry about the pictures but my camaera is shit, and i had to take loads and just stitch them all together, but you get the idea, still have to put more holds on it

[neil@canaryclimbs]

other side

Still have to build the roof yet

[saltbeef]

the kickboard on the left looks tres grand.

[dave]

try and get like twice the density of hold coverage, will be reet bo.

[neil@canaryclimbs]

yes i will in time, i left loads of space for all my wooden screw ons, but it took me 4 days just to put all them on

[Bubba]

That's well impressive - where is it, in a barn or something?

[neil@canaryclimbs]

na its in my garage



right next to my bed room

[saltbeef]

My Woodie
built this at home a few years ago. Put two verticals against the the rear wall of the garage and drilled through the vertical members and two course brick and bolted directly through it all using threaded M10 bar. everything else was attached onto those verticals. Couldnt join it to rafters because they werent complete members they had a tension joint in the middle so any load would of pulled them out of line. Sturdy as anything and only took about a day to put up. Always use ply mind. Went for the cheap option and it used to flake loads...

north wales you're talking about feller, it ain't gonna be good.

Get strong like ben, build the moon board:

[Falling Down]

>fucking hell, that looks so flimsy! what have they used for the main beams, 1x1s?

Just found this thread and the pic of the school board from the back and it brought back some memories.. me and Gav Ellis built the main structure over two days and then added the Campus board from Bent Spoons garden some time later.

Gav basically made some sketches and worked out a rough design, got the money together from the members of the collective and then ordered a sh*tload of wood from Jewsons and the two of us carted it all in by hand.  I just took orders whilst he improvised and made it up as he went along. based on the Edgedale Road woodie and the board in Jerry's cellar.  

We were so f*cking psyched when it all came together and everyone was over making holds and working on problems.

Whilst I'm no longer a member and never did anything harder than Basic Jez on the steep board I'm still dead proud that I helped to build it and see all those early problems get done (and watch Malc repeat them with ease during his visits to Sheff) and the fact that it's still standing - it was a full-on punk-rock DIY collective effort too when everyone (bar Jerry and Quentin) was totally skint which gives me a warm feeling inside :-)

[Paul B]

Thinking of fixing up a woodie in this industrial unit. I think it would probably be best (space wise) to have the 45 deg board leaning in from the end wall, only problem is you cant fix into that wall so it would have to be supported from the two sides. Any ideas? think it might flex way too much and the top section on the left hand side of the pic wouldnt be supported all the way....
Help...[/img]

[Paul B]

did it all off the back wall at my parents place as rafters werent joined in the middle.
Took about a day to build because of using bolts etc.

[Bonjoy]

Why not brace it up against the a roof truss. As long as you put fair size stiffening beams along the back it wont flex much.

[Paul B]

which ones? the ones running across the pics arent I beams theyre just purlins and theyre weak as piss im afraid when you load em like that.
Was thinking maybe making a stiff board (lots of beams behind the panels) and support it from the side walls with an inclined beam but that limits the height on the left hand side of the pic...

[DScuffle]

Scaffolding suppliers if anyone is interested.

I reckon this is the way forward for freestanding walls.

[Yossarian]

my freestanding wall is about to enter the construction phase.  it was conceived by a non-climbing furniture designer, so is slightly more elegant than my last effort! will stick a picture up when it's finished...

[gertrude]

are you taking the piss???
it's not hard. get some wood, set it at an angle and wack some holds on: Bob's your incestual uncle who, incedentally, likes you quite a lot

[SA Chris]

Another useful post, you are doing well.

NE Scotland's premier training facility aka "The Shop" is currently in phase 2 & 3 of development. Will post some pics soon. Sadly it's not mine though.

[unclesomebody]

my new baby. Christened it tonight.... I present to you; "Boardway"





and then there needed to be light;




and then there needed to be training;




 
and the result of training is some mega nuclear e=mc^2 type shit;

[dobbin]

I am saddened by these pictures. Saddened because I am concerned that this means you have shunned our board for a new younger model.  :wink: and that this means you wont be back in sheff to attempt pointless feats of strength, often.

How do you get to the things behind the board? is that what the left hand side gap is for? In picture one there is some sort of crazy transient ghost being. Watch out for him on late night training sessions - he looks rough.
