I just built this basket for mini's.
That's already shaping out be to nice. Is that your house? If so, it looks lovelyAlmost finished with this basket, made from random parts from a building I'm decommissioning. Hoping I can find some chain too haha
Alright, I've made a few chained baskets (and they're not cheap... $100 by the time you're all done with 2 rows of chain, and all the rest) - but come this winter I'll be in building mode again. When I build a full size basket, I like to be able to use it as an extra basket in (fun) tourneys such as Birdie Bashes, Ace Races, Local Non-Sanctioned Tourneys, etc. How does the rope/hose stand up to discs coming in hard (ie ace runs). If it's only use is practice putting, then it does what it's designed to do - but if it has the weight to catch tee shots... awesome!
I'm back with another winter building project. After a homemade basket and then a few mini baskets, I wanted to make the cheapest full sized practice basket, using store bought materials. It's great that your work gives you plastic drums, old tires, free rusty chain... but how much to make one from purchased materials?
How about less than $27? How about $26.25 including tax in MN?
Some things were on sale, but I've included full material list, and a pretty detailed tutorial of the build. I would be overjoyed if this made it possible for people to build and use a practice basket at home. If you build one, comment on YouTube or here, I'd love to see it! Thanks to DiscChucker for the nudge to try the rope/hose idea. Second cheapest option, and catches great!
Here's mine! Price? $9.50!
