Any tips to improve this woody design? 8-Jul-2016 At 12:33:21 PM bones

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has any tips to improve the design of the woody below?

I've left some of the roof off the image to show the the internal framework. I'm planning to attach to the side of the house.

Dimensions:
Length = 5.6m long
Kickboard panel = .6m high
Climbing panel = 3m
Angle = 30 degrees
max climbing height above the ground = 3.2m

I've kept it to 30 degees (rather than 40 or 45) as there's only a 3 meter fall area and I also want to try to reduce the outward load on my timber frame house. I also like the 30 degree wall at burnley.

I'm thinking of using structural pine for the frame (maybe treated as it's outdoors?), 12mm marine ply panels and capping it in corrugated roofing to keep the water out.

Any tips to make it more climbable or more structurally sound would be appreciated.
