I built a moonboard in my garage which had a similar challenge, but I think my measurement was 2.75m. I ended up making the footboard shorter, cutting a hole in the ceiling to remove the plaster, and having the board finish a couple of inches above the bottom of the roof beams (which meant i needed to cut slots in the board for the roof beam to pass through). The top row is essential on the moonboard since it's where all the finishing holds are - don't remove it.
It's pretty awesome to have a moonboard in my garage, but the sit-starts are heinous due to less room, and one of the holds in my top row cannot be used due to the beam's location - but I just moved the hold one grid position to the side.
If your roof beams are laid out favourably, you could actually extend the board a fair way up into the ceiling.
I can send some pictures of mine if you like - email me.
If you really only have 2.5m, I think you're going to struggle.
