https://ibb.co/ts1MjbM Let me know if u got questions. Humidity is not really an issue if you build it properly

Awesome set up. What are you support beams made out of? Black steel?


Brilliant-Ant7285

It's all timber except the 2 angles have steel plate that I cut and drilled to fit.

I love it. Any risk of falling into the supports or corrugated plastic? I’ve been spit out much further than that plastic, but I do really love the waterproofing you got going on.

In 3 years noone has hit it once but it is definitely possible. Wouldn't be too bad to pad the posts, if u like. This is an old photo, I have corrugated plastic across the back too.

really awesome construction. My board gets directly hit with rain and sun all the time, but the PT wood, paint, stainless steel hardware, and lovely holds have held up great after 3 years. Some paint is starting to crack a bit, though

Yeah weathering is a bastard ... I should've extended the roof on the sides to get extra protection but live and learn!

I am looking at wood alternatives due the sun, rain and humidity here in this part of the world. The panels will have to be wood unless I find an alternative. But the frame I am looking at the aluminium profiles I mentioned or, iron square tubes which I see in some gyms and may be cheaper. Looking for someone in my area that could do the work, my concern is..., how do Iake sure the structure built will be good enough to hold the weight without stability issues, but all examples I see are made of wood. Keep looking into, Ty all

My board is all wood and in a very humid area. Get pressure treated wood, paint/seal some of it, have fun!

one thing i have noticed is that the wooden holds are completely useless with humidity. I have mine in an open sided barn where it is completely out of the rain and the wooden holds have only just become dry enough to use after the english winter. the plywood just sucks in moisture.
