 I like it. Do you have 20 vertical feet in which to install this bad mofo?

Another consideration: while you now have some good height, the width is a bit lacking. I'm a tall guy and will traverse 8 feet in one decent reach. Average height folks will traverse the same in one BIG move. Since you said you have 6 sheets, would space permit you to make the wall 12 feet wide? you'd end up with a 12' x 16' wall. You could still stack four sheets tall, with the 4th being the near-horizontal roof, and then put the other two sheets on the side... like this...

(quick 3-minute MSpaint image...)

really wish we could post photos...*sigh

put a header over the roof with a 2x10 so you can mount finishing holds there. You're already looking at being 12-16' off the floor, would you really want to fall from higher than that?

Good luck with the project.
