FS: 40 degree board
August 03, 2024, 09:26:51 am
I'm moving house soon so looking to re-home my board. I'm taking the holds with me, so it's just the t-nutted board (I'll include the bolts for the T-nuts).
Dimensions:
40 degrees
276cm deep (from back to front)
200cm wide
250cm tall
292cm climbing surface from kickboard to top
15cm kickboard

At the back are about 5 shelves for storage.

All in good nick but after a damp winter there is some water damage to one of the front feet. I suspect the wood will dry out ok but you might want to replace that.

It's built like a brick shithouse so erecting it is a two-person job and it's not something to put in an upstairs room! Very sturdy.

Fixings all included but you might want to use new screws on some bits.

It would be a shame to send it to the tip so I'm hoping that someone wants it. The wood alone would be about 400 odd quid to buy so maybe about £200 is fair?

Collection from Bingley.

Just for my own peace of mind (I don't want to flog someone a lemon) has anybody any experience of reassembling a board? No issues with wood having warped and not being able to get it back together?

I had no problems relocating and reassembling my 45° 3.3m high board 5 years ago and it's still just as solid now.

I reused nearly all of the bolts and screws because I didn't have a suitable drill at the time. It was fine putting it all back together exactly as it had been. (I did subsequently change the brace angle on one side so it fit better it in its new home).

I relocated it with a lot of holds kept on so the extra weight made putting the top panel on a bit challenging but fine with 2 people and a few clamps and it was easier overall than removing all the holds and putting them back on as I didn't have an impact driver either.

For the purchaser: don't forget to take plenty of pictures and label each timber to make it easier to reassemble.

I also sold my freestanding board to someone from UKB. I can't remember who but I do remember a photo of it back up and running in no time whatsoever!.

I also remember Peewee and I adjusting the angle whilst Nat was out somewhere. He insisted we could do it without removing any of the holds and subsequently I was nearly crushed to death as he attempted to drill and fix the supports.

You're not dead and the board got adjusted, quit being so dramatic  :chair:
