r/homewalls

Hey y'all,

I kept blanking on which foot chip was part of the problem in our attic, and tape and Sharpie both got old. So I built a small portable projector with a camera and a laser. Pick a route in Crux (it works with the common systems board apps too) and it shows up on your holds. No wiring, no mounting, and it fits in a backpack, so it moves between walls.

It's already past 4,000 routes projected on a bunch of units in the field.

Early bird is available for the first few. US only for now, and delivery is estimated Feb 2027.

Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Finally managed to make the wall adjustable.
Tried a v3 on it at 40 degrees and nearly died!

Could any mini moonboard users recommend any climbs for building technique?

Finally managed to get the home wall up and the setting has begun! The wall is 8’ X 12’ with a 2’ kicker. It’s fully freestanding and adjustable at 5° increments from 20° all the way down to 45°. My girlfriend modeled the entire thing in Solidworks so that we could stress test it prior to building. If anyone is interested in the plans or design I can get the files and plans from her. We may end up getting some concrete anchors just for added precaution but we’ve had 3 people yanking in it at once with very little movement. Excited to get/make more holds to fill out all the blank space.

As per my previous post and the one before it, my home wall is complete. Thanks for everyone who commented and helped me figure things out.

- I use L brackets for the support beams and use hex lag screws as recommended
- I ended up using the hinges I already bought, but I use 8 of them, and replaced the screws provided with the same hex lag screws, hopefully this is safe enough
- I’ve managed to prop the frame all by myself with the help of stairs and off-cut timbers lol. Pretty happy on this stage because I can finally see the home wall taking shape
- I use 2 M12 bolts each for the frame connection.
- I also decided to use bolt holes for the climbing holds, but I only drilled 72 holes with diamond shaped pattern. So I will still have plenty of room for screw-in holds.
- Sprayed some termite protection all around the base of the wall and applied wood varnish on the plywood
- Printed Moonboard-style footholds (not sure about using it for hand holds esp for dynamic moves, but I think it’s safe enough for footholds (?))
- Now things to figure out: how to get rid of the mosquitoes

Once again thanks for all the help. Also thankful my gym routesetter came by and made sure everything is safe enough (he even set some routes!)

Hello all, complete beginner/newbie here.

I'm looking to build a Mini Moonboard without the LED and I wanted to basically add a tnut for spray equidistant at a diagonal offset to the moonboard holds.

I tried to do a rough mockup using a sketchup I found from a youtuber (shoutout to Jake Krebs!), where the dashed lines intersect would be for spray, and where the solid lines intersect would be for the moonboard holds.

I also found another post from this subreddit that also did this (included in screenshot).

Questions:

1. I'm an absolute newbie but is there anything I should be aware of when doing this? I literally just took the midpoint, and plan to drill it in (at least in the spots that wouldn't be impeded by a stud from the back).

2. I noticed this other youtuber that followed Jake Krebs tutorial installed joist hangers on both ends of the studs, whereas it looked like Jake only fastened his with screws at the top and then attached it to the kickboard with joist hangers. Should I be adding joist hangers to both ends?

Also any help would be appreciated. Bonus point for if anyone followed Jake Krebs tutorial.

Thank you!

I'm planning an adjustable wall in my garage but the walls are single skin brick walls added on to the house after it was built - they join on to the exterior walls of mine/my neighbours house but I have no idea how they are attached so I'm treating them as single skin. With this in mind, I was planning on adding a bunch of new 2x6s across the ceiling and using those as anchor points to share the load of the climbing wall. The 2x6s would be attached to the brick with heavy duty brackets (white line in the photo would be 2x6 and there would be 5 of them spread along the wall).

In my head this meant all the force would be pulling directly down on the beams/bricks which would all be strong enough to cope with that. I'm now worried that this plan might generate more lateral force on the walls than I think and I'm worried the brick walls might cave in. Can anyone shed some light on this?
