Thank you everyone for the patience, whilst we sorted our website. We had a massive amount of traffic in a very short space of time and collectively you managed to blow up our site, haha! We've been working hard to get it back live to you, and you can now find the details in the link wideboyz.com/freestanding-wall/
First thought was “this is waaay too early for an April Fools prank, even from the Wide Boyz”. Glad this is real. A lot of thought went into this design.
Built a very similar styled wall on my garden, just slightly taller and in 35 degrees. I am so happy with it. When you fill all the space with regular to bad holds the low height won't matter, you can perform very old school strong style moves.
Nice looking product, my main issue is it isnt particularly long so a couple of moves and your pretty much done. I also noted in one clip when you went for a top hold the whole frame shaking. That being said - this product will sell very well, there’s been a huge increase in interest for home climbing walls due to covid but it’s so much effort to make your own - such a simple assembly. I love it!
Agreed. I've got the woodworking skills and tools to cut and t-nut some plywood, but I don't have the metalworking skills to build that frame. The wood would be a nice-to-have, but the frame is a real value to me.
I’m a wood and frame worker and this looks like a real solid and well designed product, I’m impressed. Might have to pick up two for a side by side route 👀
Super rad! Undoubtedly will appeal to quite a bit of climbers looking to keep sharp during the pandemic. I'd 100% be interested if I hadn't built one at home myself
The only thing I could see to make this better would be an adjustable angle variant. And having the website be up, but that's an easier change and quite obvious.But this is very tempting, excellent design.
@@genso877 Yes, but that depends on the hinge design. A 90° arc plate with holes and some thick pins (not bolts, bolts aren't meant for shear) could be quite sturdy.
@ wide boyz . You should partner with a cabinet company in the us to build and distribute this wall in us. brings the shipping cost down enough to make it work
Pete not strong enough turning the mats & cracking up 😁 great pre warm up workout built in no extra cost do both ends for each side and center for back, thighs and arm workout 😂
Genius design guys, don’t know why others haven’t done this before. It would be great to have some other colour options for the matting in the future ;)
@@hyau23 Ive looked into building something like this, and just the padding is gonna cost you around that, could ofc just use some reg bouldering mats and take them when you go outside bouldering too. (also holds are damn expensive, unless you make em yourself ofc)
There will be a lot of ENTHUSIASM ... but not that much of a business for this stuff ... so it is of a small "handcrafted" production amount, which not many companies will want to bother with. As newcomers on the market the WideBoyz are "hungry" and enthusiastic enough to make this effort though. Once they show there might be a market for it ... others will pick it up, especially because of the shipping cost problems and the larger market in the USA.
You could maybe sell a lot of these in the USA, but no-one will want to pay shipping from the UK. I don't know what to suggest? It's a great improvement over most similar designs. The only thing I can think of suggesting is to get a distribution contract with REI?
USA distribution of our other products in our shop coming this spring. however not quite sure on this wall yet, we need to figure it out and see if the distributor will take it
Luckily I have a garage, so plywood holds for me and my daughter and we can have some fun climbing there. Now just waiting for the winter to be over, -20C and bare hands dont mix well
It would be a good idea to also sell the angled part (40/20 degree) as a separate item, so people could purchase some adjustability. If I were buying this setup, Iddefinitely be willing to pay foir a few extra parts to get that benefit.
Been in the metal works industry for few years and i love you're channel, am a sheff local and been following your years, but really cant get my head around those price mark ups seem crazy :(
Its a bit short for cracks maybe? Just buy some of their cracks and bolt them to the outside of your house OR ... dismantle your stairs and put cracks in in their stead!
I would appreciate a sketch in your specification sheet. It would really help me out to imagine the dimensions of your fantastic product. Maybe it is because english is not my native language. 🤷🏼♂️
Hey guys, looks like your SSL cert lapsed for your website, which will block access on most browsers. You should look into that, cause I wanna check out your stuff!
For *outside placement* there might be a slight problem of water gathering on the backside, which could ultimately destroy the nice wooden part of the wall. For this case you might want to think about adding an option for a BACKSIDE COVER. Another option for outside placement (and for people with VERY tall rooms) might be an EXTENSION of the wall to basically double the height, BUT this obviously needs to be secured ... by adding a small horizontal bit to "lean / fix it to a wall" at the top. The steel beams look really solid and would probably hold such an extended height (or maybe two) ... but the mats would probably have to be a bit thicker.
I am not a climber. I will not be buying a wall or anything else. Why did I watch it anyway?! These guys always make me laugh. Besides, it looks like a super cool product and I want to support them and the videos. Their cellar and real world climbing vids are even better.
Will you also offer a larger size for the full-size Kilter Board set up? How about an adjustable angle option (that would be mounted to the wall behind it) ?
If you wanted something a bit more custom, you should contact us at info@wideboyz.com and we might be able to assist in sorting something out for you. adjustable and totally freestanding is not an option and we won't be offering that
the frame would be ok, although i imagine after a while it would start to rust (however it is protected by poweder coating which will delay this substantially). The ply will last as long as any sheet of ply would outside, so for an amount of time but certainly not forever. It will survive outside but it's obviously going to degrade much much quicker than having it indoors or protecting it from the elements. If you have it outside, I would recommend at least putting some rain cover over it to help give longevity to the ply
Looks promising! I recently got a similar freestanding wall: the "ArtRock Freewall", together with the tensionboard kit that's the perfect (lockdown-proof) home training setup for me. It's a tad bigger (however size can apparently be adjusted according to your space limitations) and completely build from wood.
I really wonder how this one compares to the kilter board, this seems like a cheaper alternative (can’t see the price bc of crashed website) but this wall seems pretty short otherwise the build seems well thought of and practical, great job guys !
yes you can put a short tension board on it. the climbing surface area is 2.4 x 2.4 you can see full dimensions and spec on the downloadable spec sheet here wideboyz.com/freestanding-wall/
Looks really nice. Hope your site comes up soon. Did you guys look into options for making the angle adjustable, or was the plan always to have a couple of static configurations?

@@snowmilk2240 nope... crashed again...
This is awesome! Will add it to my "if I win the lottery" wishlist

CANNOT WAIT TO DO SOME CLIMBING IN MY BATHROOM!
First thought was “this is waaay too early for an April Fools prank, even from the Wide Boyz”. Glad this is real. A lot of thought went into this design.
Honestly, kudos to you for the great idea and realization. I'm really loving all the recent innovations from the Wide Boyz, so pumped for you guys!
thanks
A short vid where you guys have a tough session on the mini board would be good to show people what it’s capable of 😊
Built a very similar styled wall on my garden, just slightly taller and in 35 degrees. I am so happy with it. When you fill all the space with regular to bad holds the low height won't matter, you can perform very old school strong style moves.
What a product !! couldn't think of a dedicated climber who wouldn't love to have one of these for themselves. Big up Wide Boyz!!!!
I need this, so happy that someone finally made this for mass production! I wasn't confident in myself on building one in my backyard
Nice looking product, my main issue is it isnt particularly long so a couple of moves and your pretty much done. I also noted in one clip when you went for a top hold the whole frame shaking.

Could you make a 5th option to only buy the frame ? makes across the pond shipping a lot cheaper a just reduces a lot of the fuss.
@Wide Boyz
That would be great.
great idea!
Yes that would be awesome!

Agreed. I've got the woodworking skills and tools to cut and t-nut some plywood, but I don't have the metalworking skills to build that frame. The wood would be a nice-to-have, but the frame is a real value to me.
this would work beautifuly in an attic! imagine it basically blending in with the ceiling in an old type of European house!
Love the natural editing clips in there, great video :) Will most likely look to buy this board when I can
thanks
Awesome. Clever design, makes it so much easier when you can just plop it down wherever it will fit
Lots of clever design details -- hoping for the day that I can own one...
I’m a wood and frame worker and this looks like a real solid and well designed product, I’m impressed. Might have to pick up two for a side by side route 👀
we have two 20º degree walls on big discount at the moment, email us at info@wideboyz.com if you're interested :)
@@WideBoyz I would love to put a deposit down on one if still available, I emailed.
@@rosshenderson8171 got your email, we'll be back in touch later (just out climbing for the day 😉)
There are still 2 available 👍
@@WideBoyz send a cheeky one for me lads
If I can save up for it, this may be a purchase for my new place when I move come August. Awesome product guys!
thank you
YYYYEEESSSSSS. I have to get this as soon as possible😂🤣🤣 It looks so awesome!!!!! This solves so many problems of trying to build your own one!!!😁😁👏👏
Also looks like an alright nap spot when the padding is folded up.
Super rad! Undoubtedly will appeal to quite a bit of climbers looking to keep sharp during the pandemic. I'd 100% be interested if I hadn't built one at home myself
Wide Boyz at it again with an amazing product!
The only thing I could see to make this better would be an adjustable angle variant. And having the website be up, but that's an easier change and quite obvious.But this is very tempting, excellent design.
only problem I have with adjustable angles is that they are quite often kind of wobbly and not so sturdy
@@genso877 Yes, but that depends on the hinge design. A 90° arc plate with holes and some thick pins (not bolts, bolts aren't meant for shear) could be quite sturdy.
Very nice! Putting that on my wish list for after I finish remodeling my house 😬
Nice one. Could do with some width adjustable cracks.
Pete: "When you're ready for another session"
Moves pads back out, session complete.
I have been thinking about a design like this one but I guess I don't need to anymore. Seems like a great product!

Always great content!
Great product Pete. I am sure it will sell really well. 😎😎😎😎
4:41, Thank God! I thought this was way too professional. I came here for carnage!

Looks amazing guys, congrats on the release.

@@richardbradley1532 Yup.
Genius design guys, don’t know why others haven’t done this before. It would be great to have some other colour options for the matting in the future ;)
Probably cos it's going to cost loads of money. It is a great idea but making one yourself with the supporting posts would cost 180-200 at most

Cool product just wish it was one more section higher or at least have the option to make it higher .
awwwwww man, been waiting for something like this to come out... just wish It was more affordable!! damn that's a lot of money

A super solid wall! Great design and engineering put into this. I am also seeing the 404 error, looks like there is a website problem.

Luckily I have a garage, so plywood holds for me and my daughter and we can have some fun climbing there. Now just waiting for the winter to be over, -20C and bare hands dont mix well

We can't afford it!

Hey @wideboyz, I see the link is down these days. Any plans on bringing this dream back to life?!
The one thing every climber was waiting for since there are no such free standing boards on the market
There has been a freestanding moonboard for a while.
Tom. There is a Free Standing Moon Board but it is very expensive. Interested to find out how much the Wide Boyz board is going to be.
@@powelw this is 5k and 2 plywood or 8 ft of climbing height. Moonboard is about 8k for 3 plywood or 12ft.
My first thought - put a bed underneath to save space and have a free fall cushion.
Incredible boyz!
Wild Boyz = Wild Price. But the wall looks really good.
i'm so drooling all over my screen
very cool stuff good job
Oh my goodness, bless your crazy crazy hearts!! THANK YOU!!
What a great product, well done guys, 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
1st thought: why is there not a crack included?
Gotta buy those separately, they're running a business after all ;)
They make crack climbing holds. 😐
@@HourRomanticist do they make crack?
Its a bit short for cracks maybe? Just buy some of their cracks and bolt them to the outside of your house OR ... dismantle your stairs and put cracks in in their stead!
we're branching out
Free standing wall=free soloing=clout. I’m in.
@ 06:01: why not install the matting upside down so you have the velcro '+ shape' on the bottom, this way it looks way better...
been searching for exactly THIS. Now I just need to make some money :D
@WideBoyz, I can't find the wall on the website. Has it been recently discontinued?
Everyone else: Feet
Pete: floor legs
This is just so AMAZIIIING
Looks like this will be like the PS5. Impossible to get. Want one🤞🙌🙌
I would appreciate a sketch in your specification sheet. It would really help me out to imagine the dimensions of your fantastic product. Maybe it is because english is not my native language. 🤷🏼♂️

Well done for DOSing yourself guys. I'll check out the board after you buy some more server space.

Hey guys, looks like your SSL cert lapsed for your website, which will block access on most browsers. You should look into that, cause I wanna check out your stuff!

Makes me wish I were on the other side of the pond. Guess I'll have to build my own for now. ;)
Hey , genuine curiosity here, if you have the skillset and tools to build a homewall, why would you bother spending 3900$ quids in a premade one ?
We need this!! :)
The vids been up for 20mins or so and your website is already crashed. Haha. Thats a good sign :)
And it’s still down😂
...and still down
Still down
really cool product
oh boy I hate my tiny Parisian flat right now...! I need this!
Congrats! What an awesome product. Thoughtfully designed!
Do you ship to the EU?
yes we ship to the EU
Amazing !!!
Love the design and the video. Would be a lot better withou the 6 second music loop that turns your brain to goo! xD
Any plans to make a full size 12x8 version? Any plans to make one with an adjustable angle?

should have made crash pads for the website as well :)
Me - Yes I'll have one of your free standing walls please.
Customer Service - You really need to stop calling.
This seems like a really nice product. Shame I don't have space or money for it...
great product! for 5000 quid it's definitely not for me, but very nice design!
Time to buy some tools, plywood, extruded steel, a ton of holds & fixings 😅
That's soooo coool!:)
I want one! or two! Is it designed so that you can set two walls next to each other?
man, so much thought that went into this
there is a fair amount of engineering gone into it for how simple it looks
Website crashed? Shows how many people want it
On reddit they call it the "Hug of Death", when someone posts a link on a server that is not prepared for it
collectively...you took us down, haha. we're back up and running now though
I bet mostly curiosity about how far out of reach the cost would be for a broke ass climber like myself
@@mikelarin8037 only 5k I mean who couldn't afford that ......
@@peterbowman7499 haha 5k euros at that. Probably like 10k cad after shipping. That's a full year of bumming in asia!

Lessgoooooooo! Hyped about this
Amazing job, amazing product, amazing video, amazing people, but damn... £5,000?! A bit steep lads?
For starters, it’s not mass produced in a sweat shop in China/ India/ Bangladesh
Looks really nice. Hope your site comes up soon.
Did you guys look into options for making the angle adjustable, or was the plan always to have a couple of static configurations?

Saw that its not avaliable anymore, is there any similar products out rn? this seemed like such a great product.
