Default Building a skills area, and perhaps paging Penny?

has 3 crazy kids who love to ride that stuff with him. And I go over
there all the time anyway.

Penny's pictures are great.

I used mostly 2x4's and 2x6's scrounged from construction sites and
crap I had laying around. Make sure you screw the boards, not just
nail them. And be careful letting people walk on what you build. A
300lb well-meaning galoot named Sam busted a stair-step section I'd
made by putting all his weight down on one section.

Have fun.

Thanks for the pointers. That's unfortunate about Sam, and I know
exactly who the "Sam" is in my life, so I'll keep a cautious eye. I'm
excited to have something for the mud season, but imagine I'll get
bored with mine as well. It may very well end up being 3 or 4
obstacles that are always changing, time will tell. It'll at least
give me something do to for the thaw between snow riding & the end of
mud season.

Thanks again.

I've found some stuff with google, but searching these groups led me
to believe your pictures were better than most. Thank you for the
link, my reasearch stage is now complete! For now, at least.
