I'm trying to figure out how best to put up a campus board at home. I have a space wide enough to do it in between my house and my fence, but the brick wall doesn't go up all the way on one side. How can I attach a board without ripping my house to pieces? I was thinking of using scaffolding poles (less snappable than wood) fixed by brackets, but that's all just guessing.

Any info would be appreciated! (The short wall's some 2m high)

Just to clarify, there's no wall to put it directly onto, so I thought of bracketing it to the walls either side (some 1.5m)

Pics?

[erm, sam]

Monolith has pics  of a in doorway campus board which inspired me to build one. works pretty well if you want a board up to 1-3-5 for occasional sessions..

I have made a completely custom campus board. http://ericslifeontherocks.blogspot.com/2012/10/campus-board.html For those of you in long-term relationships, it should comply with any spousal needs.

That looks really nice.

I posted photos of my board before, will take a couple of new ones so you can see it. It is built for combined storage/training

Absolutely, otherwise why bother at all.

Seriously though, the inside of the campus board is about the same volume as a mini skip, so you can easily fit loads in. I can't seem to embed from flickr on my phone so will do it from the office. We wouldn't have built it at all if we couldn't still use the box room as a box room.

That is a thing of beauty. You are a lucky man to have those high ceilings.

You're not wrong about the ceiling height, it wouldn't have happened without it.

A word from the wise. Do not only use small and medium sized rungs as i did, all it takes is a minor finger injury (or broken bones in hand/wrist) and the board renders itself totally useless (other than as a cupboard), so use small and large (preferably larger than off-the-shelf rungs).

Thanks.  I really like yours doubling as storage.  I wish I had the ability to make mine a permanent structure but it worked out anyway.
