Well done...very well thought out. I'm totally impressed. More pictures!!

Nice backyard gym. The convenience factor is great. I have a small wall in the basement. The ceiling is pretty low so I opted for a steep angle on one side to get more vertical distance and 15deg on the other. My 15deg wall is twice as long as the steep wall and only half is shown in the photo. It worked out well for the limited space. You have to get 500 watts of speakers out there as well. I tend to get a better workout with music.

Do you have trouble with lighting?

300watt halogen torchiere lamp puts a nice amber glow on everything. It diffuses nicely.

VERY nice looking. Looks like you've got a ton of routes set up, too. I notice that you didn't waste any time at all chalking those holds up.

I want a gym of my own, too.
