After a couple of PM's with Dylan I had sat down to down a bit of a guide so he can build his free standing woody. When I had finished I thought it my be of benefit to others out there who were contemplating building a woody but weren't sure how to go about it. Some idea of tools and fabrication are still needed.

There is more than one way to skin a cat and this particular layout is just one. Feel free to copy, use, modify for your own use. I can send the AutoCAD file to anyone who wants to have a play with the design too. Just make sure you do a proper job on construction and don't cut corners. There is a lot of weight which can squash little climbers.

Edit: Rev B Have installed foot board that can be used for 30 and 45 degree angles. Following Lacto's suggestion below have amended notes to reflect sizes of generally available timber for framing.
