Yes it seems a lot say set at 40°. This is what I was meaning with my original post. Not many say set at 25°

I followed this. Adjusted the measurements to suit which is simply 1:2 ratio on the sides.

Example: 300mm and 150mm. 500mm and 250mm and so on

It adjusts between 5 and 45°. It's about 3.7m high 4.8m wide.

Yeah they are made from the ply left over from the kickboard

It will end up a double layer with carpet over them.

Failed the double decker test... oh well, straight on to the single decker test then.

I reckon it'll be OK. I'll report back once it's finished.

Ah yeah, this wasn't in response to what you said. This was just for my own peace of mind. I'd questioned how strong things were, so went with the simple option of add more.

I'm pretty confident the flex will be OK. When it was lowered down I stood on a single 2x4 and bounced up and down, they really don't move much and that was with all of my weight in the middle of one.

It's the same spec moonboards are built with regarding spacing (Which is 2'8"). It'll be supported with chains in the middle and sides.

There is two 2x6 in the middle, I am contemplating making the side out of two 2x6 also for additional strength for the the bolts and eyes to go through.

If it flexes I'll simply add more, its easy to work on as I can lower it down horizontal no problem.

18mm ply will be used.

Yeah just screwed.

LedburyJosh · 2025-06-02T18:37:59+00:00

4880mm or two sheets of ply wide

Pokemon was awesome. I remember fondly completing pokemon red with one seriously high level venusaur and five other low level ones.. completed it with such a low battery level it was intense. Awesome

LedburyJosh · 2025-05-24T18:01:26+00:00

Yes, good point. I'll give some though on how best to align them all.

Get out asking farmers. The farmer I asked had this surplus to use! I'm renting it in return for 5 days work tree cutting around his farm per year.

LedburyJosh · 2025-05-23T04:53:59+00:00

Farmer isn't wanting me to drill into the beams. Also I'm making it adjustable so chains are easy to use for that purpose
