Building a Homemade Backyard Climbing Wall (from Start to Finish)

This is a climbing/bouldering wall that I built over the summer when many climbing centres were closed during lockdown :( It's perhaps a bit more complicated than necessary for a home climbing wall, but I had plenty of time on my hands sooooo
CONSTRUCTION:
The frame was welded together from 1 inch square steel box section (about 100m was used). This was then covered with ~18 square meters of 18mm thick plywood. I used 12mm thick plywood for the roof supported by 100 x 47mm wooden beams. The roof was covered with 2 layers of felt to make it waterproof (I also added a gutter on the back). The whole wall was painted with several layers of weather proof paint to ensure it lasts a long time in the ~changeable~ British weather.

Dude, this is beautiful, inspirational and such an incredible departure from the little overhang walls you usually see on here. Well done!

@YnseSchaap 3 года назад

In my country we have a building code that prevents me from building above 3 meters (10 ft) in your back yard so I had to build inside but what I have now would never fit or be legal outside

A lot of people are commenting about how great of a wall it is you built, but nobody has mentioned the amazing videography and editing you've done as well. Bravo my dude. Keep up the good work!

@matthewbenitez7804 2 года назад

this is definitely the most legit at home wall project i have ever seen so far ..haha dang. extremely impressive

@pokerfeces 3 года назад

Maybe this video lack of explanation but I do learned a lot. I was worried you don't have someone to help you build the wall, but I kinda relieved seeing you got helps, and a cat!

@richardhall5489 3 года назад

I love that you used a band saw to cut the tubes. Also..great video work. Inspiring.

@thomaswalsh4552 10 месяцев назад

How are the walls attached to the metal frame? Just screws straight into the bar?

@remymill 8 месяцев назад

I'm curious how you afforded not only the basic materials, but also the welding equipment (and impressive skills). Especially given that you only appear to be 20-22 yo. This is no cheap project. Impressive.

@thorna100 3 года назад

very impressive built but I would take a nice big 45 degree board over this. I think I would get bored of the small space of climbing a shape like this allows pretty quick. Epic work though building it all.

Respect from Croatia! This looks amazing! I'm close to building my own wall (piling up $$$ :) ), not this "complicated" though ':) And if I may, you seem skilful enough to make your own holds, I did some for a friends' wall and they turned out rather good and basically inexpensive, so you could do that too, cheers!

@MartinJEngland 3 года назад

Thanks for your kind words! I'm not too sure about making the CAD model public as it has quite a few errors in it and also isn't complete. So I wouldn't want anyone to use it to build their own in case they used some wrong measurements.

@adimeshort 3 года назад

Did you just use expanding wall anchors (for hanging mirrors etc) to anchor this climbing wall frame to a concrete slab?... with deck screws?.... Only wondering

@MrRecruit4 3 года назад

What I really want to know is how did you convince the HOA (or whatever building association they have in UK) to let you build this??? Here in the U.S. you have to have a permit for practically everything. It's so annoying!

@Fogmeister 3 года назад

Oh man this looks amazing. I've been wanting to build something like this in my own garden. Can you give a rough estimate of how much I could expect to spend on a project like this? £1500? £2000?

@cycloneranger5354 2 года назад

My guess is at least 5000

@pelfinho Год назад

I spent 1,200 on a much smaller wall without using a steel frame. This has to be much more than that!

@javiergonzalez5809 11 месяцев назад

Good wall, but over-engineered. 2x2 tube is overkill and adds about 35-40% to the cost. 1/8" 2x2 angle with 3/4 ply trussed every 8 feet from the ground up will give you a bomber surface with no defamation...and give you more coin for silicone and polyurethane resin.

@escaladaseguraamimanera3621 3 года назад

y que haces con el espacio interior? no tiene ningún uso?. me parece que te sobra el espacio, bro.

@MartinJEngland 3 года назад

It's used to store the crash pads so they don't get wet when it rains

I was just about to comment this. It looks like Britain..very keen to see how it holds up to the rain with all those holes drilled aswell.

@MontagoDK 3 года назад

@@tomedinburgh4490 not only rain, but the general moisture in England is so high that it'll start to swell and rot quite fast. It could be treated with something that prevents all this though. but it looked like normal plywood.

@tomedinburgh4490 3 года назад

@@MontagoDK i grew up in the dales around Manchester - humidity doesnt matter if it never stops raining 🤣. Super keen to see if hes solved for it and it holds up. Would be amazing to have a go and build a sort of outdoor shed boulder combination thing.

@Pludrike 3 года назад

How about putting all that time on something useful? Maybe something easy like sharpen up and not looking like a weak joke.

@MultiCruton 3 года назад

How is this NOT putting time into something useful? Developing construction skills and creating something in order to progress (sharpen up) in a hobby he clearly loves ? Also don’t know where you are but we’ve had an awful lot of lockdowns where any of our “normal” activities have been limited, so building a spectacular climbing wall and subsequently getting stronger seems like a pretty frickin good use of time.

@Faitheist1652 3 года назад

I have mad respect for people who can work with their hands like this. Very impressive.

@WspinaczkowyBlog 3 года назад

I also have a climbing wall at home. Height 5.5 m, 74 m2 of panel. I built it 6 years ago. My advice to all those who build something for home climbing - REMEMBER TO WARM UP before climbing. Since it's easy to just get out of your chair and start climbing, it's just as easy to get injured without warming up. You have been warned :)

@bananaaaaaaaah 2 года назад

Are you still climbing? I would love an update and to see how the outdoor wall is holding up long term and if there are things you would have done differently?

@Jawsoflo 3 года назад

The next best gift you can give yourself is asking a setter from your gym their rate to come put up a few boulders. They can set with whatever style/grade you're looking for in mind. Amazing wall dude

@tommeyer3871 3 года назад

10:14 dude in the back building a roof for his trampoline or what? :D Nice build, can barely even call it homemade anymore with the level of thought and craftmanship that went into this, your parents must be incredibly proud seeing you out day in day out building this masterpiece from scratch. Very impressive I hope you have some kinda protective gear in place, to shield all that from rougher weather conditions, would be a shame if it wouldn't last you for years to come

@chrisembryclimbing 2 года назад

I agree with Aaron. Terrific camera work, audio mixing and all. Love the wall itself as well how it has character and angles like in a gym. Fantastic work Martin, keep it up. You are truly an inspiration to us all.

Could i do a wall but with pvc board instead of plywood? I would think it might be better for the outdoor conditions.

@10hickmanj64 3 года назад

This is the best wall build on the internet and I watch wall builds all the time and none of them even come close to this one and that orange bloc is great you got great determination and I love the side pull with the left into reverse side pull with the right and then reverse side pull with the left to stop the barn door, great solve.

Amazing job, well done! I'm wondering how the plywood is doing today with all the moisture and/or rain? I can see (10:36) that the t-nut holes are a bit exposed without resin or paint, is there any water damage filtering in?

@zip7806 3 года назад

You should Replace your Concrete screws with Epoxy anchors. Also, consider starting your climes from sitting on the ground. its like adding 3' of height to the wall.

Yes, the roof has two layers of felt roofing material, and all the wood is painted on all the edges to seal it. The wood is also raised off the concrete so it should last a while hopefully!

Nice work but the screws you drilled into the concrete are not strong enough to hold that they will rust you’ll want to find a blue screw that’s meant to be drilled into concrete
