    When did you build your wall?
    2020

    3 weeks

    Not including holds and padding, how much did it cost you to build?
    Approx $2300

    Did anything in particular inspire your wall design?
    Nope. Just came up with the idea in my head in order to maximize climbable space

    What was the most difficult aspect of the design and build?
    Due to the fact that my original posts were not all square, framing in the roof walls was the most challenging.

    What would you do differently?
    Make sure everything was square!

    The roof wall for sure! It’s long and steep!

    Any words of wisdom to aspiring homewallers?
    Measure 9 times and cut once!
