How to Make Hockey Nets
- 1). Cut the PVC pipe into six pieces. Use the first pipe to make two 51-inch long pieces, leaving 18 inches of scrap. Cut the second pipe to produce two 40-inch and two 20-inch pieces.
- 2). Lay out your netting so that you know which side needs to attach to the top, bottom and sides of the goal.
- 3). Attach an elbow joint to one end of each of the 40-inch pieces. These will be the upright goal posts. Slide the 40-inch PVC through the upright sleeves on the net.
- 4). Slide each of the 20-inch pipes through the net's footing sleeve. Connect the two 20-inch pieces to the 40-inch pieces by attaching them to the open end of the elbow joints. The 20-inch pieces will be the supports for the net and will be on the ground.
- 5). Complete the net by attaching the last four elbow joints to the open ends of the 40- and 20-inch PVC pipes. Thread the two 51-inch pipes through the crossbar and footing sleeves on the net. Secure the 51-inch pipes to the 40- and 20-inch pieces with the elbow joints.
- 6). Make sure that the joints are secure by banging them with your palm or a mallet before playing. One 51-inch pipe should be on the ground, along with the two 20-inch pipes, while the other 51-inch pipe makes up the crossbar at the top.
