Not quite done, but done enough to start using, and so it was done enough to put some paint on it. Liked the chalkboard paint idea so much we stole it. |
|
So for father's day the wife just gave me the green light to build a moon board. |

Hey Jeff, |
|
You built yours to spec... And just chopped the top off... I'm close space wise. The math says if I build a board at 45 degrees (instead of the spec 40) and space the t-nuts 1.25 cm closer (vertically) I can fit the whole board. |
|
I think if I were to do it again, I would probably try your idea of making the wall steeper, and the tnut spacing slightly closer. I have found that the moon problems are quite hard, and I wonder if the extra steepness would make them feel harder...but perhaps the closer hold configuration would counteract the change of angle. |

The issue with the basement is I don't have the 10'4" required for their dimensions, so I'd have to modify the board (shorten/steepen... etc). The big plus is the basement is CLIMATE CONTROLLED!!!! The barn... the wall has to be on hinges of some sort and able to lean back up to vertical (not all the time, but occasionally). Also, as I live in NY... the barn is in the 90's and humid in summer and really cold (lows in teens usually) in winter. Due to climate control, I'd obviously rather build it in the basement, but is it worth it... having to make it different than spec??? And how would you construct it smaller for the basement, or as a hinged design for the barn???Build the moon board in the basement to test the waters. Then build a proper wall in the barn!!! |

jjensen, that looks pretty awesome. |
|
Just a general question here, but is there a "perfect" overhang steepness or is it all personal preference? And if there isn't a perfect steepness what are some good, common angles to use? |
|
I made my woody with a thirty degree overhang and a forty degree overhang, and those angles worked well for me. The 40 really allowed me to get the most out of my low-ceilinged garage, and with some volumes and an arete I was able to use most holds. I'm not strong by any means, so I recommend going steep unless you want to have a lot of kids climbing. |
