- This is the final video for the climbing wall build where we paint the plywood and attach it to the frame with some self-drilling screws. Then I move it into place and stand the wall upright against the deck. Later in the video I show how the wall can articulate/lean out and then we put up some routes. This was definitely a long project and I am glad it is over. In total, it took me about 3 weeks to complete... working on it when I had a chance one or two nights and one of the days of the weekends.
Follow up: Here's an affiliate link to the Amazon store where I purchased the climbing holds. On Amazon, the holds look more grey, but when mine arrived they are more brownish and "rock-like" which I was pleasantly surprised about: amzn.to/2EVuoa9
awesome video! what a great and ingenious design and mechanism!
Thanks so much. I really did enjoy thinking up the design. Once the kids eventually leave home, I'm hoping the deck will have little or no signs that it was there! ;)
Great Video. can i ask what type of ply you used?
This was regular 3/4" exterior grade plywood. Unfortunately the finish wasn't perfect so I did fill a few holes in spots. One side was just slightly better looking so that went to the outside. That deck paint I used is really thick plastic-y stuff and does prevent the water/humidity/moisture from penetrating and it has held up really good. One thing I would do different with the plywood is purposely leave a little extra space in the gap in between the joints of the sheets to allow for some expansion/contraction due to the sun and fill with a softer caulking.
@@stoppedsnoring this was really helpful and the video is great. Thanks a million
The design is brilliant too
Did you consider chains to adjust angle?
No I hadn't, and that's a really good idea! I was actually surprised what a difference to the climbing difficulty the slight angle makes, so a variably adjustable wall using a chain makes a ton of sense. When I was designing it I was a bit worried about it going too far over and that is why I thought the hard stop was the way to go, but I could have probably just made a "max angle" using chains too. Thanks for the comment.
