Step 7. The ladder and side panel boards
Bolt the ladder upright in place and then the ladder rungs.

The final brace c6 can now be nailed in place.

Fix the 150x25 900mm long (1x6 36" long ) wall cladding boards to the two sides c and d. Ensure that the height of the cladding is the same as that of the cladding on the rear wall b.

Fix longer wall cladding boards to each side of the plywood climbing wall.

Step 8. The trapdoor
Make the trapdoor up on a level surface. The trapdoor consists of 150x25 (1x6) floorboards nailed to two 45x345 (1 1/2x 1 1/2) pieces of wood 450mm (18") long. See the 'floor and trapdoor plan' for dimensions.
Next, nail a fillet (which is an off-cut from a floorboard) to the side of the frame member f4 directly under the hinge side of the trapdoor. This is to give the trapdoor support when people are standing on it.

Lay the trapdoor in place, ensuring that the gap is the same on the hinge side and the opposing side. Screw on two 150mm "T" hinges, approx 50mm (2") in from each side.

Drill a 25mm (1") finger hole positioned approximately as shown in the illustration

Step 9. The door, the rope and the tire swing
Just the finishing touches to go!
Tie a rope securely to the beam about 100mm (4") in from the end. Nail some type of bracket or saddle clip over the rope to ensure it is not going to slip off the end of the beam.

Tie on a tire to the other end of the rope.

Fit the climbing wall door in place as shown in the picture and you're all done!
