Family Builds The Coolest Wall Ever While Renovating A Room In Their Home (30 pics)

1

The angles were too similar and not much of a challenge anymore, plus storage was getting to be a problem

2

Shoes were scattered on the floor and the shelf was too high to access

3

So a renovation was in order, and the first step was to strip the wall

4

Step two was to remove the old plywood, and of course, save it for the upgrade

5

Demolition mess - it doesn't even look like a climbing area at this point

6

Even their son was getting in on the action by pulling nails from the 2x6's

7

The design and plan

8

They laid out all of the framing just like they do for rafters

9

Next step: building the framing members

10

Starting to take shape, but this first attempt at framing was too tight at the top

11

Their son nailing the 2x6's

12

Success! They reused the original framing and also used wood leftover from a friend's ice rink project

13

The framing, completed - including 10, 20, 30, and 40-degree walls. Plus, a vertical wall in the back

14

Onto the plywood. They were able to reuse all of the old plywood and only had to buy another 10 sheets

15

Almost done with the plywood

16

Looking good

17

Now to paint the walls

18

And reinstall the padding, which was a mixture of seat material from old cars

19

New carpets and holds just waiting to be washed

20

Putting the power-washer to good use

21

Now to let them dry out

22

The new wall in all its glory

Don't you wish this was in your home?

The hangboard area

26

And new cubbies for shoe storage

More storage options too

28

Such an improvement, don't you think?

Testing out the new wall!
