@HeyItsShammy - Glad you care to express yourself. However, next time you insult someone, at least use proper grammar. It should read "You sir, are AN official dumbass".
@sito1104 - see my many comments which answer your question about the geometry of the goal. In short, yes it should be longer, but in this case you are limited by the materials available (PVC piping and connectors). To keep the goal opening at 6' (that's the important thing for practice) while making the back longer, the angle at the back would become more acute (narrower). This is basic geometry (draw it on paper and you'll see). More acute PVC connectors aren't available.
@XtremeSkater123 - yes the angles would change however PVC connectors for those angles aren't available. You could extend it out to 7' if you make the back square and not a triangle.
Last time I checked, being an asshole didnt make you a bro. this guy is saving money for everyone instead of spending 200 dollars for backyard shooting. just sayin guys.
just a thought, rather than a 'cinder block', why not fill the pipe with sand? the weight should then be evenly distributed and will stop it blowing over or being knocked about in practice.
@Cassidybros - limitations in available materials do not allow for the goal to meet exact NCAA regulations (or even youth regulations) in the overall goal design with the exception of the most important part: a 6'x6' face. See my many comments below.
@Cassidybros - yes. But this isn't intended to be a regulation goal except for the opening. Due to limitations in available materials, you can't make the back 7' long. See my response above to @sito1104
@smokinbarrelairsoft - This is a common comment that I've answered a number of times. Due to limitations in available materials (PVC connectors), you are stuck with a 90 degree back angle which dictates, by the rules of geometry, a shorter triangle.
people use your heads this isnt something ud use in a game if u want it to last use steel pipe with steel conectors and attach them with self-tapping screws and u can go buy a regulation lacrosse goal net. and i truly doubt that the angle in the back of the goal makes any difference in gameplay
I must say that I am impressed with your math skills for a middle aged guy good job remembering hs geometry and btw i took geometry last symester and your probably as good as it as i am now lol. Good job,
Many people have expressed their concerns over the pipes possibly cracking. My son (he's 9) has been using it for a year and so far, so good.
I'll be the first to say this is NOT intended to be used in a real game for any level, let alone high school and college.
Will it last forever? I seriously doubt it. However, is it a cheap way to have a goal in your backyard for your kid to practice shots and a few dodges toward the goal? Absolutely!
@CRMSK8 - a saw @tannerphilly35 - in making the goal with PVC you are forced to use the Pythagorean theorem because all you have to work with are right angle connectors. True in a regulation goal it's an acute angle.
@linkmager99 I wouldn't use 1.5" PVC. It's only marginally cheaper and not as strong (you might save $5 if even that). Can you use a tarp instead of a net? Sure...if you want to make a giant sail or kite! One good gust of wind and it's gone....
@jack - pretty sure I outline what is needed at the beginning of the video. But to recap, you'll need three, 10' sections of 2" PVC piping (get four just in case you make a mistake...it's cheap), five 90 degree PVC couplings, and PVC primer and glue. Of course you'll need a net and zipties to attach it. Tools needed are a saw, measuring tape and snips.
@blast con't - also since you're stuck with 90 degree connectors, (there are 45/135's too, but you need more acute, not obtuse angles), the two front 90 degree connectors on the ground have to be turned to make 45 degree angles (a triangle (looking down from above) has 180 degrees total = 90 + 45 +45). If you find a way around this, I'd love to know!
@roman1766 - forgot to add that when the hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle is fixed (the front of the goal is 6' by regulation) and the angle opposite the hypotenuse is fixed (due to parts limitations), mathematically the length of the other two sides is predetermined.
@roman1766 I was thinking about making the back deeper and squaring it off or trying to round it some how so the goal isn't so shallow, but than again you beat me on math I'm only in 10th grade lol.
@blast - yes you're right about the regulation size thing. However with the limits of the parts available, you're somewhat stuck with the dimensions: the 90 degree connectors dictate the length of the legs along the ground. You simply can't make the legs longer and still use a 90 degree angle (think about it - if you make it 7' long, the hypotenuse (side opposite the angle and the front of the goal) is by definition longer unless you can make a tighter angle at the back - but those aren't made.
Hey I just looked it up, and the reason why its top heavy is because regulation Lax goals are 6 x 6 x 7, I was thinking about making a goal just like this to save me some money instead of dropping $300 on a steel one. Filling it with sand kinda strengthens it too. I like the video though.
@ndalax7 - This isn't intended for college players in a full-contact, 100% regulation game. It's for your kids in the backyard as a practice goal. As for the pipes shattering, I'm a 6'4" 250 lb guy who can shoot a lax ball pretty hard and it's withstood direct hits from me. Will it outlast a regulation, official goal? No....but for $30 it's a pretty good backyard bargain for your kids.
I built one a while ago and got the supplies from home depot, only cost me about $25 give or take. But it's a pretty solid goal, lasted me about 2 months before the cracks on the pipes got too serious, and had to be replaced. But if your shots don't hit pipe alot, you'll be fine. Great guide, great video!
Tom - good eye on the carriage bolts. Originally, I was going to run them vertically through the base to use as spikes to hold the goal to the ground but decided not to. Thus, you missed nothing but caught much.
I need to build one soon, and the one in my mind was just as you made it....a question though, you showed a pair of carriage bolts at the beginning....am I missing something? Goog job, good dad....Tom
@GoofyLongBoarder455 - Can't guarantee it won't break but so far so good. It's even withstood direct hits from me shooting the ball. PVC is pretty tough stuff. With this in mind though, I would NOT go down to 1 1/2" pipe (even though it's slightly cheaper) because it has thinner walls.
@GoofyLongBoarder455 - oh...one other thing. I noticed that when I cut the 6' top pipe down to 5'7" (to account for the 90 degree couplings), the two legs to the back should be cut down to 3'11" from 4', otherwise the goal at the bottom is slightly larger than 6' while the top of the opening is right at 6'.
Put sand in the bottom if the center block doesn't work
