used alot of your ideas with some of my own .donut spare tire for my base(found it on the river bank)wooden base and top from a 24" wire spool(some people used them as coffee tables back in the day)eye hooks to hold the chains .18 shelf brackets $10.00 (3 to hold the btm,3 to hold the top and 12 on the perimeter)24 eye hooks $6.00 .50 ft. of chain was $25.00.20 ft.of acetylene torch hose was $3.00 at a flea market.So for less than 50 bucks I have a nice basket.Thanks for the great ideas Chris!
Wood will rot in the weather. Won't last long. Also, more costly for the parts let alone time invested to make it worth while. Just buy one. Good thinking though
Your design makes for one beautiful basket. Honestly it's an amazing thing, and to anyone who does infact love disc golf it's a worthwhile investment. Now to improve to short game and put it to work. Thanks man, you've done a profound service to the sport.
I found out from another site that if you get trap chain #2 you can get 100ft for about $50 so you could make two holes for the price of one. Thanks for the help. Hopefully I can get some extra money to get it soon.
I think because they are alot lighter they will not absorb the disc's energy as well and disc's wont stay in as well, to make up for it you could try putting more of the chains on it.
@TheSkierka123 If they are alot lighter they will not absorb the disc's energy as well so may not work well on the faster hits. I think you can make up for that by putting more chains on it.
Check out Innovas website and look at there Disc catcher Pro it has dimensions on the page. also check out PDGA basket requirements which gives you a range of sizes that it must fall in to be used in a competition
Just made a basket using a lot of your Ideas. Worked great! I did 12 outer and 4 inner chains. Duct tape got to looking kinda trashy (yours was much neater) I used tiny u clamps on spokes . added to cost but looked great. Thanks for the Video
If you are just doing the out side rim 16 strands. I modeled mine after the Innova Discatcher Pro which has 12 outer chains 6 Intermediate and 6 inner for a total of 24 strands.
I shaved down a piece of 2x2 and rounded it so the tip just fits in the post then turned it upside down and hammered the wood in about 6" or so then cut it off flush with the pole. to keep it in place I put a self tapping screw through the pole holding the inner block of wood in place. Then removed the bike axel and used an 8" wood screw with a washer to screw into the inner block of would. Then your good to go. Hope that helps
you get what you pay for. i.e. chains and i built another basket with some of the left over stuff and it only cost $60 so two baskets with 24 and 27 links of chains for $240 is still a good investment to me. I also enjoy building things
you look like Rob Riggle.

I wouldn't have the outer chains in a practice basket, it forces you to have more accuracy.

Hey Chris,
I love your design and plan to make my own basket very soon. But first I need to ask: how did you attach the tire and spokes to the poll???
Thanks

Hi Chris!
