How to make a tubular ball game

How to make a tubular ball game
Better Homes and Gardens

It’s backyard bliss! Cut, paint and stick PVC tubes together to make the target. Number as you wish. Give each player three balls, step back about 10 metres and take turns to see who can land the highest score. Game on!

Gather your supplied

• 1 x 1m 100mm PVC tubing

• 1 x 3m 100mm PVC tubing

• Adhesive numbers

• Bouncing balls

You’ll also need

Hacksaw; mitre box or set square; pencil; medium- and fine-grit sanding blocks; mask; drop sheet; plastic primer; coloured spray paint; Selleys Liquid Nails Landscape

 

Note All PVC tubing lengths measured from flat base to highest point of angled cut.

 

Here’s how

Step 1 Using hacksaw and mitre box, cut the 1m length of PVC tubing in half at a 45° angle. Alternatively, use set square and a pencil to mark cutting line.

Step 2 Measure the 3m length of PVC tubing into the remaining 8 lengths: 1 x 200mm; 2 x 300mm; 3 x 400mm; 2 x 500mm. Measure carefully, as the 8 lengths fit exactly into the 3m length of pipe. Make the first cut at a 45° angle, the next straight across. Continue angle/straight/angle until you have all 8 lengths.

 

Tip Use a cut piece of tubing as a template for cutting the next.
