Pallet backboard

Submitted by ErinRN on Thu, 09/07/2017 - 06:55

My son found an old basketball rim and wanted it for his room. I googled plans and lo and behold, Ana provided again!! He wanted it simple (i.e. so he didn't have to do much work) so we stripped a pallet down and followed Ana's plans, sanding it but not staining it. He didn't want the frame for it either. The back is held together with 3 1x2's, 1 1/4" nails, and wood glue. Thankfully it is 32" wide so I could drill it into wood studs, although I did tell him this is not to be dunked on :-) He ordered a new net from Amazon for $5 and there you have it!
