-4, 10 ft pieces of 1.5" PVC pipe.
-4, 90 degree elbows (1.5')
-3, 45 degree elbows (1.5')
-1, union (1.5')
-1 can of PVC plumbing glue, I used the purple stuff, smells like sh*t so watch out lol
-100, 11' zip ties (they come in packs of 100)
-2 cans of orange spray paint (preferably flouresent)
-1, 50 lb bag of sand
Total comes to about 40$
Have to buy a net. This ones a killer. I got mine from d*cks sporting goods for $50. Well worth it, but i suppose you could just use a tarp or something if you had to..
I already had
-1 empty carton of windshield washer fluid (cut the bottom out to make a funnel)
NOTE: Dont glue until you dry fitted all of the pieces
-What I did first was cut out the 2, 7ft pieces for the back portion. That leaves 2, 3ft pieces. (take a few inches off to make it work when you put the elbows on)
-You then take the union and connect the 2, 3ft pieces. (You might have to cut about 2 inces off both pieces to make it exactly 6 ft)
-Cut the 3, 6ft pieces out of the remaining 10 ft pieces (take a few inches off to make it work when you put the elbows on)
-Then put the elbows on (no glue) and piece the goal together
-To do the back angle take the 2, 2" pieces that you trimmed off the 2, 3ft pieces and connect the 45 degree angles to it. It sould look like a wide U when your done
-Glue the 45 degree angles together, also put the 7 ft pieces in, then put the 90 degree elbows on the end of them.
-Then take a funnel
-When your happy with it fill the bottom pieces (that make the goal stand up) with sand
-Then undo the side poles, glue them and put them back in
-fill them halfway with sand.
-glue on the top bar
-Spray paint all you can see with the orange spray paint, wait 15-20 min then tip it and do the bottom.
-Attach the mesh with zip ties
-enjoy
(if the zip ties break, replace it with 2.)
Hope this helps
