Build the System Tiles

A systems wall can be a wonderful tool if well done well. It's like a campus board where you can use your feet, or a "Bachar Ladder" that doesn't swing. We decided that we would dedicate a space for two rows of tiles up both walls and the roof. This would allow us to go up one wall and down the other. To build our tiles we found some cheap big boards and cut them into squares. Next we cut some 4” squares out of ¾” plywood to act as spacers. 

Next was to bevel a 45º edge onto all sides, the more edge you can give it, the better. If you don’t do this you will end up with the worst blisters you’ve ever had! 

Next, sand them until perfectly smooth. You are going to run an infinite number of laps on these tiles so the smoother they are the happier your skin will be. Any cracks in the wood can be filled with drywall mud/liquid nails combo mentioned in the crack section.
