Before finishing the sheeting we decided to add some crack features, just to do something different, and provide a bit more variety to our indoor experience. On the 40º degree wall we found a long 2”x10”x16’ that was used as a form from someone’s driveway in our subdivision. It has a crusty edge coated with concrete texture, perfect for jamming. Spacer blocks made from 2’x4’ and OSB plywood scraps placed about 2’ to 3’ feet apart provided a secure place to screw on the long board against the joists. Make sure to check the spacers carefully or you might end up with a crack that’s to thin or wide to have any fun jamming on. The size we made is perfect hands for most guys. Super man-hands or petites will probably get mauled.

The first step in building the handcrack was screwing blocks about 2-3 feet apart.
