The center line of all the studs were marked on the ground. Then I used a laser level to be sure every screw in every bracket hit the framing member it was aiming for. If you do not sheer the outside walls this task would be cheaper and essayer but you would not have as solid of a final product.

When drilling out your T-nut holes use a templet, then knock out 4 sheets at a time with a spade bit. Dipping the tip in a glass of water once for each sheet on each hole will make a drastic improvement in the life of a drill bit.

The insulation in the walls keeps the gym warm in the winter, cool in the summer and cuts down on noise both in and outside when fun is being had.

It is best to use full sheets of plywood for many reasons. Simple, less waist, cheaper and you can always add volumes later for more variety.

The bottom place is attached to the floor with three hinges so this wall had to be framed up in place.

Angle brackets were used to frame up the wall to give each stud much move strength than toe nailing. It also made it easy to frame the wall in place due to the small size of the room. 16'x12'

T-nuts for the systems wall are on a 8"x8" pattern to allow for a great variety of setting options.

The floor turned out better than I ever emagined. 52 mattresses work like a charm.

St. Marry Man Camp bouldering session to train up for another winter in Thailand.

The angles between mattress layers was customized with 8' form blocks. The carpet padding over the top holds everything in place.<br>

Cover the mattresses with old carpet padding to even out the floor. I got it free from a hotel being remodeled and used 6 layers before the landing zone started to feel relay consistent.

Gluing the vinyl seams together then weighting them down with 40# bags of concrete mix.

I started the screws with a tap of the hammer then used the impact gun to drive them home. 2x4 studs on 24" centers made an excellent wall with no flex, even at a 45 degree angle.

The wall can swing from vertical to 60 degrees overhanging. There are three ropes attached to the top of the wall that are in line with the hinges at the base. This transfers the load through the structure. Even on the most dynamic moves there is no wall flex.

The angled framing was attached to the sheer wall with angle brackets every 4' on the wall or every 2' on the ceiling. This made for some fun chimney moves to get at the back brackets.

Phase three complete. Thanks for the amazing shot Kelsey.
