Answers: How do you build a climbing wall?

• Climbing wall construction
• Framing a climbing wall
• Installing T-nuts in plywood
• Mounting climbing holds

What it concludes

• 2x6 lumber is recommended for the framing because it provides less bounce when hanging at an angle over a long span compared to 2x4.
• Construction screws must be used instead of decking screws for the wall framing to prevent shearing.
• A plywood thickness of at least half an inch, and preferably 3/4 inch, is required to support body weight on T-nuts.
