I know a lot of people on here have built woodies, but has anyone ever made (or bought) a rotary wall before?
Was thinking about doing this in the garage/dining room. I dont have permission (rental property) to build a wall on an interior wall so i thought that would be a decent alternative.

You will not be able to do it. Build a regular woodie or buy a treadwall.

Just make your woody free-standing. Almost any wall can be made free-standing if there is enough room for the braces. Based on the room type you can have braces coming down to the ground to form a triangle or straight out against a wall.

Some ideas in here: mountainproject.com/v/what-…

Examples of a couple free-standing walls I have built:

thanks guys. Dont know why i couldnt come up with tread wall earlier.
i was thinking about building a woody in the backyard but Im concerned about wasps building nests in there. Looks like its back to the drawing board.

Get you a giant wooden spool like the phone guys use. mount it on a spindle and screw some holds to it. viola.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
