Please, allow me to stomp on your dream a bit more . In the course of my work, I have been in the gyms of nearly all of the more than 50 (public, not even counting parochial) elementary, middle, and high schools in my city and from the oldest (some are pretty darn old) to the newest, they almost all have climbing pegboards. And, they were very clearly not homemade. Stomp, stompy stomp .


Quote from the site you offered... "Peg board training has been used for decades to increase upper body strength."

Companies producing recreational and phy ed equipment for schools have been around nearly as long as schools themselves.
