You don't need any of that backing especially if you are beveling the edges. Never ceases to amaze me how overbuilt most climbing walls are. |

Since you have to ask...laugh, well... start by making a scale model out of cardboard or poster board and a hot glue gun. Then when you start on the real object you can make use of the various stock framing connectors you find at the local building supply store. Through bolting the connectors into the framing members is the strongest, decking screws or carriage bolts can also work and they allow easier coverage with plywood. |

The angles will stay the same, so you can just scale the math up to your desired size on the polygons sides. I'd build a supstructure of 2x3's and skin it in plywood. |

What Evan said but use foam core from an art store instead of cardboard, can fasten it with pins. Its what architects and designers use. You can also get the real dimensions by using string to outline the edges from a center pole. |

Easiest way - cut out one triangle. Doesn't matter what size/shape, but it is helpful if it's a right triangle. That will be one side of your feature. |

Here is another link to build a volume. Just ignore the part about the fastener to the wall as you can just screw it into your wall: |
