How to build a woodie

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....

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.

 
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.
 
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...
 
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...
 
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
 
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.

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.
 
I'll be up in sheffield weekly, so don't worry dobbin, we can attempt all sorts of intensely stupid strength related feats. Infact, I want to have another attempt at a number 2, I can't believe I let that thing beat me in the first round!!!

Oh, and there are bigger problems that just ghosts in this board, there are some serious gangsta types... rolling on 22's, poppin caps left right and centre....
