Anchoring a top rope at home 31-Mar-2009 At 9:07:00 AM devlin66

If you want I can knock up some drawings that can give you a guide to work to. Concrete and structures are my job so it will be easy to do. How much room do you have in plan. ie. ground space. A free standing frame can in most cases be a better set up. This way you can pivot the wall a smidge above middle height and have a fully adjustable angle without the need for any pulleys or winches. Using the brick wall would be neat but if you plan on just a vertical wall you'll get bored. Having said that mine stays at 30 deg most of teh time as it's a good training angle.

Also you might get away without having to use a top rope. Get onto ebay and check out these puppies here. Get two of these and put them side by side in a stitched up shade cloth bag. My girls jump from the top of my 4.2m woody onto these. They can be a little firm if you back slap from the very top but for the most part are an awesome setup. They have an inbuilt pump so you can adjust and reinflate with ease. I'll get some photos for you if you want.
