The Most Dangerous Playground I've Ever Built

What happens here

Colorful rock climbing grips are installed on the other side of the A-frame, which serves as a climbing wall. The builder first uses masking tape to strategically mark the placement of each grip to ensure even distribution and varied difficulty. He then drills pilot holes at each marked location and secures the grips using large Allen bolts, tightening them with an Allen wrench until they are firmly in place.

Goal: Create a rock climbing wall feature.

a little bit more room day three back on site today we're gonna do a lot of the hardware these are the grips for climbing like any rock climbing wall would have got these on Amazon they were 35-ish bucks uh they look like they're pretty simple I've never installed them before but uh looks like we just have to drill holes and screw in the big Allen bolt because I only have about 25 of these grips I want to be strategic enough to even them all out last thing I want to do is run out of them and have a section that looks empty so I'm going to mark them with tape trusty old tape trick [Music] let's get to drilling maybe it's a good idea we're reading directions here but look we're even using the right drill for this job what's up Ryobi [Music] that's actually the hard part you know make sure I don't repeat the colors I don't look like an idiot in front of children uh now we just gotta secure these clamps on the back side Pat them in so they catch with these little teeth and then we'll use the Allen's key to secure them tightly foreign [Music] plates installed this is the pipe that we're going to give ourselves carpet tunnel voluntarily because we have to crank down 50 of these big lag bolts
