very cool design! Are you going to panel some of the top for roof crossover laps? Looks like it would be easy to do. The kick panels are a really good idea nice job :)

A friend & I were actually discussing this gym last night. So freakin nice.

Nah, we're done. Everything is just how we want it. :)

The padding is 7 inches of three different layers of foam covered in carpet and anchored down to a wooden frame. We have a ton of extra padding so we're getting a 12", 5'X8' shell from Voodoo. The only thing left to do now is set, set, set! We have over 50 problems right now.

Voodoo is sewing nice pads - are you using many of their holds? I used to use mainly Pusher but the last couple of years its been voodoo or stoneage for me.

We're going to get some Voodoo holds eventually. You're right, they are really nice. So far we've purchased from Entreprises, Nicros, and Stoneage. We were given tons of crater holds from this really cool guy in Louisville (as well as some features). We don't nearly have all our holds up on the walls and we have an order of about 100 holds coming in this week. I like it! :mrgreen:

No thanks, LLR. We have a ton of holds for now. Thanks, though!

And thanks again, tcu. We really appreciate your kindness. :)
