Anyone ever build a pegboard for training?

I'm considering building a pegboard for my local gym. I've got some ideas, but would love to get feedback/plans/suggestions before I start cutting and drilling.

Any input would be welcome!

That's at that new training facility of yours in SLC? Very nice!

Can you give some basic specs? Also, how is it constructed? Do you have any photos of the interior before the front board is attached?

They JUST finished building one at Central Rock Gym in Glastonbary, CT. It is on the same angle as the campus board. It traverses left at the bottom and then goes straight up for about 8 or 10ft. You could call over there or message them on Facebook and I'm sure someone would be happy to talk to you about their demensions. It looks pro and would be a great workout to work on static movement at full bodyweight. The head setter and one other staff member built it. They are both usually there at any given time.

I would think a double layer of 3/4" ply would hold the pegs easily, maybe another layer of 1/2" to make it 2" thick? I've been thinking of building a small one myself
