G'day Rich
Thanks for the offer. Please let me know if there is anything that requires particular attention in building the wall. Basically, what I want to do is to have a 2.4m wide by 2m high climbing surface, with a base attached with hinges for a 15 degree tilt. For the frame, I am planning to screw timber all around the perimeter, and to have studs running from top to bottom every 60cm (eg. 3 in the middle plus the 2 sides to cover 2.4m). Then drill lines of holes at approx 20cm distance (starting 10cm from the edge of the panel) with a stagger between lines over the whole surface. The wall will be free standing (I have a metal garage, the structure would not be able to support the weight of a wall I believe), and I will use a support frame to tilt the wall approx 15 degrees. It will require approx. 5-10 min to set up everytime I want to use it, but this is really the only option if I want to have a practice wall and a wife at the same time!
Cheers
