Yes a crane was definately needed. But IMO not one of that size. (I work in steel and I was being a steel geek by that comment.) Oh and the sheets are a fair bit thinner than 10mm I believe. Maybe 4mm which is still very thick for sheeting. (Thanks to Evan, I did see the insides of the structure.) The thing would weigh more than a car.

When I went down kids outnumbered climbers 3:1. But I see that as a good thing. This was built for the Brunswick community not for the climber community. And yes, spinners and cross threaded stuck bolts are due to the steel construction.
