What materials would be needed to replicate this volleyball target hoop ?

Hello ! I'm a coach and current player and have found that this equipment is overly priced to buy through normal sports retailers, so I am looking to cut some corners and build one myself. But am not a handyman or been one for DIY projects previously. Could anyone familiar with materials and DIY give some advice on what things I would need to purchase to make this come to life please ?

Hi @altalt29 

 

That is a great idea and a beautiful render from @MitchellMc. I suggest using 70 x 35mm Framing MGP10 Untreated Pine 2.4m or similar for the arms of the assembly. I recommend using Zenith 8G x 50mm Gold Passivated Countersunk Rib Head Chipboard Screws - 50 Pack to put it all together. I suggest speaking to one of our helpful team members at the store and they'll be able to show you all the parts that you need to put this together.

 

I was going to suggest using PVC pipes, but Mitchell's idea is much more robust and will be able to withstand being hit without falling over. I also suggest using bird netting at the back to guide the balls into the box.  

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.   

 

Eric
