This is the wall that Cody and I built at Expedition Academy, in Green River, Wyoming. Vertical Solutions contracted the job, and Cody and I went out and built it for them. It's a traverse wall- meaning that it's intended for climbing sideways. I think it will be a fun addition to their high school PE class!
Step 1: Frame the wall with 2x4s.
Step 2: Pre-drill sheets of plywood, install tee-nuts. (Each tee-nut gets stuffed with a little bit of foam, to protect it from the textured paint. We had roughly 800 tee nuts to install. Lots of stuffing!)
Step 3: Sheet the wall with the plywood.
Step 4: Putty the seams, sand the edges.
Step 5: Prime the wall.
Wait for paint to dry.
Step 6: Paint the wall.
Wait for paint to dry.
Step 7: Seal the wall.
Wait for paint to dry.
Step 8: Bolt holds to the wall.
Step 9: Install fold-up pads.
Step 10: Step back, cock head, admire handiwork.
Shake hands with the satisfied and excited PE teacher.
Oh! I forgot. One more step:
Collect paycheck, pack up van, drive off to continue living dream.
