For those that want to support the channel or don’t have the materials, tools, time, or skillset to make your own, my slant board design is available for purchase at www.thetibfactory.com.
This slant board is made from 100% solid wood. I chose to use solid pine because it’s lightweight, looks nice, and will be strong enough to handle heavy weighted squats.
The board is 19.75” wide, is built to accommodate larger athletes, and has reinforced internal bracing for heavy loads.
I have already marked my boards for drilling and will explain where to mark later in the video
You will need 3, three inch wide 19.75 inch long pieces of anti slip tape
A piece of 1x6 cut to 19.75 inches
A piece of 1x2 cut to 18.25 inches
A piece of 1x8 cut to 19.75” inches
Inside and outside wedge pieces cut on a 24 degree angle
1 and ⅝” #8 wood screws
1 and ¼” #8 wood screws
The internal wedge is right over 10.75” long
And the external wedge is 11.5” long
The inner wedge is 4 and ⅞ inches tall
The outer wedge is 5 and 1/8” inches tall
To predrill the holes I am using a tapered #8 countersink bit so that the screws will sit below the surface
It’s very important when using pine to make sure to pre drill your holes to avoid any splitting.
Using a drill press is a great way to ensure accuracy and keep your screws going in straight so that you don’t miss your bracing pieces when you are attaching everything together
To assemble this I am using a Worx drill that can change between drilling and pre drilling with ease.
Start by connecting your outside bracing.
The bottom row of holes and the top 2 middle holes require 1 and ¼” screws so that you don’t screw out of the bottom.
All of the other screws use the 1 and ⅝” sizing
The holes on the border are ⅜” in to hit the center of your bracing and the screws in the middle are 6” in to hit the center of your middle bracing.
Now to circle back to the hole placement.
The holes marked on your 1x8 should be 2.5” from the top and 1” up from the bottom
The holes marked on your 1x6 should be ⅜” from the top and 2 and ⅜” from the bottom.
Once your wedge pieces are secure, attach the handle from the back to the 2 middle support pieces
Then attach the handle from the sides to lock it all together
If you notice any rock in your slant board you can fix this by sanding the bottom flat
I’ve made a sanding table to take the rock out of the slant boards and it works really well for eliminating any extra wobble.
Next apply the anti slip tape to the bottom row. The middle and then the top. The tape will hide all of the connecting hardware for a clean seamless look - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Thanks for creating the Tib Factory. You’ve made it faster for me to save up my money for ATG training devices while staying on a budget. Keep up the good work!
You're welcome! Thanks for the support!
I just ordered the Tib Factory Combo Pack…. Thanks for the hard work, Petie!
No problem! Thanks for the order!
It's nice to see a how to video that is as clear and we'll made as this. No fluff, no confusion. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
Came here for a DYI tutorial and left with tib blaster and slant board! Great cheaper alternative! Can’t wait to receive.
Nice! Can't wait for you to try them out!
Thanks Petie! The board turned out great. I’ve shared your video and hope to continue to as I cross paths with other DIYers ;)
Awesome!
I'm following your program for the nordic hamstring curl and Tuesday marks my 3rd week (lightest band with 8-10 inch elevation). I was actually surprised when I was able to do an unassisted nordic with the the 8-10 inch elevation. The program is awesome and feel confident that I will be stronger and more bulletproof because of your idea. Thank you.
You are welcome! Glad to hear you are seeing progress!
Just placed an order for a tib blaster and slant board combo. Thank you for making quality reasonably priced options!
Awesome! Thanks for the order!
Yo Petie, thanks a lot for this video and the instructions! Slant board turned out great. The only tricky part was assembly without the jig... I attached the handle to the wedges first to keep things in place and all good from there.
You're welcome. Glad yours turned out OK! Good tip for the assembly without the jig!
Just made mine. Thanks for the guidance!
Great! No problem
Simple & concise: how my ADD brain needs it. Thanks for the video 🤙🏻
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful
I just wanted to come and say THANK YOU!!!! I've had 2 left knee surgeries where I had an Lcl,Mcl & pcl tear. Also had a reconstruction surgery later for the same knee. This slant board along with Kneesovertoesguy have saved my knees.
That's Great! Happy to help
Made one myself today, thanks for the inspiration
Awesome, glad the video helped!
this is truly wonderful
Thanks!
You’re the f’n man. Liked, sub’d, all that.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your design. This is a tank. I'll share a picture after I make mine!
You're Welcome!
Paused at 21 seconds. Immediately purchased. Now I get to view the quality and be even happier with my purchase
Thanks Brandon! Can't wait for you to try out your Slant Board!
@@ThePetieProject looking forward for your own invention! Will def support! If you build it, we will buy! 😆🤣
I built this today. Assuming you only have access to the power tools and need to buy everything else, expect to pay $70-80 for supplies. The price he is charging to build it and ship it to you is a steal.
Thank you for showing us how to build this.
You're welcome!
@The Petie Project I saw the supplies you used and realized the overhead+time+I'm in school. So, I decided to grab the Slant board and tib bar combo rather than pursuing the DIY route. It really is a steal 👍🏻
How in the world do you pay that much for some wood and screws?
@@barry.anderberg live in a big expensive city while there is a building materials shortage.
That was great stuff, man!
Thanks!
great video thanks for sharing and thanks for offering the option to make our own. I really appreciate it.
Sure thing!
I have been using mine for 2 weeks now. It is built really good and I am not worried at all about it breaking under me. I have only done goblet squats with a 75lb dumbbell but I am sure this will hold much higher weight. Great product thanks.
Thanks for the order! You're welcome!
As I progress through Zero on the ATG system I've been dreading the thought of spending $135+ for Slantboardguy's board. I purchased yours immediately upon seeing this video. I have your tib bar and love it. Excited to give this a test too, i'm sure it'll be fantastic. Thank you for all your work getting people cheaper alternatives!
So glad you are enjoying The Tib Blaster! Thanks for the support and can't wait for you to try out the Tib Factory Slant Board!
found my way here for similar reasons. Slantboardguy's board shouldn't be anywhere near that price.
Ditto mates - I’m getting ready to place my order this week!
This is great!
Thanks!
awesome! thanks!
No problem!
Great info 👍
Thanks!
This is great. DIY is easy for this. One thing I did different is that I made two slant boards 8" wide, they could easily work if 6" wide. If I need a single board I just but them up together and I can split them if I need to do a single leg exercise or a wide leg squat. I made mine this weekend in about 3 hrs start to finish and I'm slow, but I have a ton of scrap wood. I used 1/2" plywood and a birch plywood for the top and applied adhesive non slip tread. I put a sheet of really thin "surface board" on the bottom. From there I sprayed some adhesive and then glued some rubber shelf "glass drying" material with the holes in it. It looks like a small net. That really helps when I put my board on a balance board to raise it up. Yours is the best available, if you don't or can't make it yourself. I really wanted the two boards so I could carry them in my BOS (Bag of Stuff) to the gym.
Nice! The split option is great for versatility
Appreciate it!
You're Welcome!
Well done.
Thanks!
I’m leaving this comment because I want to give a positive review and to recommend Petie’s products, specifically the Slant Board. The slant board from the Tib Factory is my favorite of all my slant boards, wedges, and door stops. Meaning, I’ve bought several types from different places, in different sizes, and different materials (foam, metal, rubber, and wood). The Tib Factory’s slant board keeps it simple with a one-piece fully assembles design; the approach angle and overall width feels great for stretching and getting that deep squats; and the grip tape feels amazing and adds more feeling of stability to an already structurally-sound design. I wish I had never bought the other slants that I have, but at least I have a door-stop for every room in my house 😂
Thanks for the review and supporting The Tib Factory! So glad you are enjoying the slant board!
Well made 👍
Thanks!
Nice one man!
Thanks!
Excellent video brother
Thanks!
@@ThePetieProject Just finished making mine today off of your specifications - quality piece and a unit!! Cheers mate!
The complete board is worth the $ if tools and space for a project are an issue.
Good product!
The tib bar looks great too, I just need plates.
Thanks!
Hey mate,
Humble request, could u maybe add metric measurements for the crowd in Australia.
Cheers from all of the tib factory subs down under.
Great video BTW ;)
Thanks!
Got the tib bar ....will buy the step up board and Nordic bench if you decide to build them......your slant board is just as good and half the price of the one I have.....keep up the good work
Thanks for the support! Will work on those other builds in the future!
Is the one you have from Slantboardguy?
Yes it is .....very well made comes from Australia
@@williamflynn6221 How similar is the height and angle of this slant board to that one? Thanks
I think they are the same
Do you have it in(mm, cm) metric system ? That would help alot or I have to search online and convert from inches.
thank You bro Nice tutorial
Could You make tutorial building a sled so everybody can make and able to use it on any Surface. I would be so thankful because the sled really changes Lifes.

Nice. I did it
Great!
Do you think you will make a nordic curl product? I just ordered the base bench, but the perfect product would have somewhere to attach bands as you demonstrated in one of your videos
I plan to in the future!
great video, one question what size pine board do you use for the wedges? is that 1x6?
Yes, correct!
Now I want to see him make DIY monkey feet and then my DIY workout collection will be complete! Thanks for the awesome videos!
Thanks! Working on a solution for that soon!
@@ThePetieProject looking forward to seeing it when it's done!
How did you make that sanding table? Is it one large sheet of sand paper or multiple sheets glue down?
Thanks for the specs on the slant board.
It's one large sanding belt that I cut down to size. I originally tried the multiple sheet thing but a cut sanding belt works much better and holds up much better
Nice! Any plans on making a DIY Step Up Board as well?
It's on the list for future builds!
you can start with some cinderblocks or bricks
Hi, are you able to list the measurements in mm and write the dimensions in the comments, a New Zealand watcher. Thanks
Works like a charm. Think all in I spent 15$ for the tape and wood.
Nice!
The equipment created by you is nice I believe. Are you able to send the board to Kazakhstan?
There is no such destination when I try to buy the board
Thanks! Shipping to Kazakhstan is now open!
Do you have any feedback or knowledge on how the pine holds up against sweat? I work out in a non commercial gym with no a/c in Texas that just has a giant fan so I'll sweat profusely and wondering if that would affect the wood at all.
I don't think exposure to sweat will be an issue. I have used mine in the heat of summer outdoors in NC and it has held up fine to sweat. If you want an extra layer of insurance you could always spray a coat of poly on the top but I don't feel it's necessary.
@@ThePetieProject ok good to know. I'm considering buying one of these eventually as I'm almost to a point I think it'd be useful and probably better for my feet than putting them on dumbbell handles.
Which piece of wood are the wedges and back brace cut from?
The back is cut from 1x2 and the wedges are cut from 1x6
Hey, I just made myself one of these - but fyi, the numbers are wrong... 1x6 butted to a 1x8 = 14". The longest edge of the triangle pieces is shorter than this on your measurements. Fortunately I only cut 4 pieces before checking & finding the error so I was able to improve & correct with a little redesign. Pleased with my handiwork 🙂
In the USA we have strange measurements. 1x8 is actually 3/4" x 7.25" and 1x6 is actually 3/4" x 5.5". If you get the boards precut from a hime improvement store they will come in these sizes and line up with the triangle s. If you are ripping down your own boards, you are correct that they will be larger than the triangles. Sorry for any confusion and glad your build went well
In order to cut the external and internal wedges to 24 degrees (or 66 degrees), how did you go about doing that? Did you use a table saw with a mitre gauge set to the angle needed to make that angled cut?
I used a miter saw
Thanks! I ended up using a handsaw followed by a sander.
@@edward_dantonio no problem, glad you found a solution!
This is exactly what I needed. I just wish I could understand the imperial units
Unsure of the available pre-cut board sizes for you so I’ve converted to exact sizes..for instance in the US a 1x6 is actually .75 x 5.5 so I’ve listed that as 1.9cm x 14cm (rounded to the nearest tenth of a cm)
A piece of 1x6 (1.9cm x 14cm) cut to 19.75 inches (50.2cm)
A piece of 1x2 (1.9cm x 3.8cm) x cut to 18.25 4 inches (6.4cm)
A piece of 1x8 (1.9cm x 18.cm) cut to 19.75” inches (50.2cm)
Inside and outside wedge pieces cut on a 24 degree angle
1 and ⅝” (4cm) #8 wood screws
1 and ¼” (3.2cm) #8 wood screws
The internal wedge is right over 10.75” long (27.3cm)
And the external wedge is 11.5” long (29.2cm)
The inner wedge is 4 and ⅞ inches tall (12.4cm)
The outer wedge is 5 and 1/8” inches tall (13cm)
Thanks for watching!
@@ThePetieProject thankyou so much! I can't express my gratitude enough
@@baz_k you're welcome!
Thanks king. The slant board guy wants 130 usd for one of these. Insane.
Happy to help!
Very interested in buying! Was curious if you had an estimate of the weight capacity, do you? Idk much about wood work, so I don’t know whether or not that’s something one can estimate easily
I haven't tested it with a max weight but it feels very stable during the weighted squats I've done. Unfortunately I can't give you a max number but it's built to handle weighted barbell squats.
@@ThePetieProject thanks so much for getting back to me!! That’s good enough for me, just thought I’d ask :)
Can you drop an affiliate link for those sweet safety goggles? I NEED THEM
Absolutely! Dewalt Safety Goggles - amzn.to/3ybSozT Thanks for watching!
My good sir, may I ask a question, in the case i order more than one slantboard from the tib factory does the shipping applies to each slantboard? i know i may be stingy and i apologize, i want to know coz i do have to deal with customs, since i dont live over the great US of A and my currency is worth trash when converted to yours.
Thanks for your interest in the slant board! Email me at thepetieproject@gmail.com and we can figure out the best solution for you!
@@ThePetieProject I sent an email, waiting for your reply. Thanks
Is a slant board good for knee strengthening / knee pain or sledding? Or can I just do slant board exercises at home and then go on walks? I don't rlly have room for sledding in my house and would feel weird doing it where people can see me. Btw I have a tendonitis type pain in my left knee (just under the kneecap)
Both are great for strengthening the knees. Backwards walking and isometrics are a good starting point if your pain is severe but returning to full range of motion slow squats will need to be addressed at some point and the slant board is a great tool for getting your range of motion back and loading the quads. Slant board exercises at home are a great option.
I wanna buy your Tun bar and maybe this but I might wanna make this not the tin bar tho
Awesome!
How did you manage to cut the 24 degree triangle pieces ?
I used a 12" sliding compound miter saw. You could use a table saw with a jig, band saw, circular saw etc. If you cut it by hand and it's not quite right you can always touch it up with a sander.
Use OSB on top roughside up for grip then you will not need the traction tape
hey,how long does it usually take to ship/deliver? thanks
All orders ship within 3 business days and many ship sooner! There is a ups map on the site under the shipping policy that shows how long transit takes depending on where you live. Anywhere from 1 to 4 days for most shipments in the US. I ship from north Carolina. You can find it all at www.thetibfactory.com
Legendary channel! Saving the masses hundreds of pounds!
No way I'm paying £60 for a slantboard or tib bar. I could spend £10 on wood and make several of them!
Thanks! Happy to help!
i want to buy it both the tib bar and this but you don't ship to Malaysia :(
Shipping to Malaysia is now open!
I just made mine in New Zealand. Thanks for the video. Are you gonna do one for monkey feet?
Great! Yes I plan to come up with a solution for the monkey foot in the future
Is the grip tape necessary?
It definitely helps!
Hey sorry for my ignorance. But is it ok to just get a big piece of wood and cut it diagonally? Could that accomplish the same goal? I just don't want to do all the drilling and stuff lmao.
Haha yes! Plywood is fine. It may not be as strong or have the same curb appeal but will work fine for most applications.
Are you talking about cutting a 6x12 piece of wood into two wedges I'm not sure where you'd find a saw to do that
@@josephkenevan7176 nigga this shit 9 months old
So is this just 3 boards (1x2,1x6,1x8 in 6-8ft lengths) and you cut the wedges and top and bottom out of those?
Yes, 6ft length is more cost effective if your store has them for the 1x8 and 1x6. I think all 1x2 is 8ft

How much weight can you load on this do you think?
I haven't tested a max weight on it but I did load up 220 on my farmers carry handles yesterday + my bodyweight at 205 for a total of 425 and it didn't budge. It's rock solid! I think it could go much higher but I haven't pushed it to a max. It will handle barbell weighted squats no problem.
what is the best angle to have for a slant board? Thanks. Never used one before so keen to try. Have a clever Brother in law who doesn't know that he is going to make me one yet lol.
The slant board and ATG squat wedge I make at www thetibfactory.com are both 24 degrees. I am personally standing on the full 24 degree board for stretching and mobility movements and squatting with just the heels elevated on the ATG squat wedge instead of my entire foot on it which puts me at a slightly shallower angle since I'm just elevating the heels. I would go with somewhere in the mid twenties and if it feels too steep for certain movements you can always just elevate the heels instead of the entire foot by standing a little lower on the board
@@ThePetieProject thank you so much. Really glad I found your videos. You are a very talented young man. Well done.
@@cherylmcduff5388 glad you are liking the content!
How much was it all together ?
It will depend on what you already have as far as hardware goes and if you can get shorter lengths of wood. If you are buying everything new at current lumber prices you are looking at something around the following
1x6x6 6.95
1x8x6 9.35
1x2x8 1.98
1.25" Deck Screws (8.98 for 1 lb of screws)
1.575" Deck Screws (8.98 for 1 lbs of screws)
The grip tape can be tricky to find in smaller rolls. Amazon has some smaller rolls for $10 or $15 for 4 inch and 2 inch (link amzn.to/2SO9684) but that will change the look of the project vs the 3" roll. I got a big roll of 3" from an industrial supply store but it will be way overkill if you are only buying for this single project. Hope this helps!
Hello was just trying to order the slant board however when I tried to purchase the product it said £82 shipping for if your are in the UK
Hey Phil, I'm sorry international shipping to the UK is so pricey. I've provided a few international options on the site, so I would double check that you are selecting the most cost effective one. I have a business shipping account linked to The Tib Factory website and pass along any savings I get on international shipments to the customers. Thanks so much for your interest in The Tib Factory and The Slant Board! I encourage you to build your own if the international shipping options aren't a good solution for you.
So ehh.. what is this in the metric system?
Hey. My hardware store didn't sell 1×8 but they sell 1×4 can I make a 1×8 by cutting it in half?
1x8 is actually 7.25" wide. If you double up the 1x4 which is actually 3.5", you will be .25" short for this design. You could always tweak the design to make it work!
@@ThePetieProject yeah I ended up tweaking it a bit. The inner wedges are a little more tucked in. I'm waiting for the grip tape but I tried standing on it just to see and immediately felt the stretch in my calves can't wait to do vmo squats thanks for the video and the feedback.
Sure thing! Glad you got it figured out
This is absolutely insane... You should try to make a Nordic bench or the monkey foot
I have plans for both in the future!
Hey! What's the moisture level on the wood you're using?
Can u do the nordic bench if possible $600 a lot
Nordic Bench is on the list! Shipping is a huge challenge with those!
@@ThePetieProject don’t see it only see cloths slant board and Tun bar I was saying like the rouge bench he uses
@@RicosRixo that's correct. I haven't made it yet but have plans to in the future
I meant on the "to do list" sorry for the confusion!
@@ThePetieProject oh ok I’ll be waiting for that
Can it be made at 20 degrees?
No customization right now for the ones I'm selling at www thetibfactory.com. You could definitely modify your own DIY one to be 20. You can also manipulate the angle of the current one by standing with only part of your foot on the board for a shallower angle (heels elevated on the slant board with forefoot on the ground).
@@ThePetieProject super helpful 👍
What's the weight capacity?
Max weight hasn't been tested but it's been tested up to 450 lbs including bodyweight and was rock solid
My hubby built it for me. I don’t feel it in my butt or legs. My knee caps hurt so bad when I try doing this
It sounds like you may not be ready for slant board squats yet if they are causing agitation. This isnt a problem and doesn't mean they won't feel great for you in the future. A good starting point is reverse walking to get circulation around the knees and quads. Once you get comfortable with that you can add load with reverse sled. Once that feels good, try coming back to the slant board and using assistance with your hands. If you stand off the end of the board instead of putting your entire foot on it, it will also be a less extreme transition. You can also do isometrics by getting into a shallow position that is comfortable on the board and then holding it. I hope these tips helps ease you into it. You will feel it in your quads over time but if you are experiencing pain it's completely blocking that signal so you will need to look for other easier alternatives to start to build that connection of safety with movement in your knees
@@ThePetieProject thank you I will try these

00:51 why 24 angle? KOT guy uses 30 degree angled slant board
If you are referencing the slant board made by The Slant Board Guy, I believe his is on a 26 degree angle. Anything in the mid 20s is going to give you similar benefits and work well for knees over toes training. Your shoe wear also plays a role in your angle (unless you train in barefoot / zero drop shoes). My 24 degree angle is based on available solid wood materials (1x6 and 1x8) that will line up with the long side of the outside support pcs for a clean finished look, since I am using solid wood instead of plywood for the build. Feel free to modify your build if you feel you want a slightly steeper angle, but I've found that 24 degrees works great for poliquin step ups, vmo squats, and jefferson curls! You can also give some variability in your angle by either keeping only your heels on the slant board and having your toes off of it (like Ben does for his heavier weighted squats) as well as mixing up your shoe wear.
Thank you for such extensive answer 🙂

@@ThePetieProject Thank you so much for converting! I just came back to look at the video again. Now I just need to get my lazy ass to do it :) I will start by scouting some resources^^
@@LoldemortII you're welcome!
@@ThePetieProject I've completed it :) the anti slip tape I bought was a rip-off :D Some pics imgur.com/a/gABP7sV Thanks a lot again!
@@LoldemortII nice!
You know it's funny I always preferred squatting on a slant but I thought it might have been me just being "lazy" or something. I dunno where I got that idea in my head.
Feels great to elevate the heels!
@@ThePetieProject 100%.
Thanks... But metric sizes )
Unsure of the available pre-cut board sizes for you so I’ve converted to exact sizes..for instance in the US a 1x6 is actually .75 x 5.5 so I’ve listed that as 1.9cm x 14cm (rounded to the nearest tenth of a cm)
A piece of 1x6 (1.9cm x 14cm) cut to 19.75 inches (50.2cm)
A piece of 1x2 (1.9cm x 3.8cm) x cut to 18.25 4 inches (6.4cm)
A piece of 1x8 (1.9cm x 18.cm) cut to 19.75” inches (50.2cm)

Good video, thanks for the details
By the way, as someone from the UK it's wild to me that your tape measures are only in inches (e.g. 1:13) and don't also show millimetres (mm). Surely it's simpler to measure 130mm instead of 5 1/8 inches !?
Haha yes, weird measurement system we have here. I'm used to it since I've grown up with it, but metric makes much more sense to me
Oh how I hate the imperial system
Haha, understood. Hopefully this helps...
