Lacrosse Backstop -- Works Great!
Works great for a Lacrosse backstop! I used four large PVC poles (1"id x 10') and some para-cord to make a great backstop. Design tip: Be sure to lay out the net on the ground before hanging it; otherwise it can easily get pulled into a non-symmetrical shape. Trim down 1" wooden doweling to make a spikes for the base of the poles (Just to keep it from slipping. It doesn't need to be very deep). Trim down the dowel so that it is snug in the PVC, but not water tight (you'll want rain water, etc that gets into the pipe to drain down to the ground). Run a line of para-cord all the way across the top of the net (This is important!), and then use zip ties to fasten the poles to the net with one pole at each short end and the two others evenly spaced in the middle. With some help, set the poles in the ground and string adjustable guy wires (two on each end and then one each on the backside of the middle poles). The net can be tensioned across the top using the wire that was laced...
