Weekend Project - Building Climbing Wall

This has been a weekend project I have been planning to get around to for a while now. I bought 2 sets of climbing holds from Holdz last year with the intention of building a small climbing wall in the garage.

I bought a mixed box of holds with T-nuts and bolts. Cost £39 for the set.

I also got a set of 7 large handle holds to use for a roof traverse. Cost £70 for the set.

 

I made a simple jig to position the fixing bolt holes at 20cm centres.

A finished WBP plywood sheet drilled with 12mm holes using the hole jig.

 

T-nuts are hammered into the holes from the back side of the plywood sheet. The T-nuts accept a 10mm threaded bolt. 

The finished side panel with T-nuts installed,

A simple frame made from 47mm x 75mm timber fixed to the garage wall and loft is used to attach a panel for a sloping side panel.

Completed sloping side panel and a full sheet panel attached to the underside of the garage loft for a rood traverse.
