i would really like a goal but they are to expensive, my friend told me you could build one out of pvc pipe. if you know anymore about this it would be great if you could give me some more info and mabye even a website with directions.-

pvc would most likley shatter from a hard shot, not even a hard shot pretty much anyshot. use pipes, metal pipes there not overly expensive from a hardware store, then find someone who can weld, and go to work. dimensions are 6x6x7 in case you didnt know.

Someone has built one and has sent me how to build one. I will post it up in a bit. I havent built one but I may try it out this year if I get time.

As said before, PVC would break on hard shots. It would wtill last you mabey a season or two depending on how much you hit the posts and such.

Post with how to build it will be up in a bit.

-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
