The Most Dangerous Playground I've Ever Built

What happens here

Using a tape measure, the builder marks points every foot along the ladder side of the A-frame, where the climbing rope will be installed. He then drills half-inch holes through the vertical beams at each marked point. These holes will accommodate the 3/8-inch reinforced rope, creating a zigzag pattern for climbing.

Goal: Prepare the A-frame for climbing rope installation.

Tools and materials

  • 1/2-inch Drill Bit
  • Drill
  • Measuring Tape
  • Pencil/Marker

playground is looking to see the stuff to dry I'm marking every foot and I got about 10 feet I'm not gonna do the very tippy top where I'm going to drill a a half inch hole all the way through and feed 3 8 inch rope I like to do half inch rope but I couldn't find any half inch rope so we'll do three eighths and I'm going to feed it through running from this side to that side in a zigzag fashion so the kids can climb up to it a little more challenging but also be like aesthetically cool [Music]
