Material list for goal posts

Coach Larry D in Los Angeles called about a material list for the PVC goal posts. This is for one goal post so double this for a set of two:

  • 40ft of 3" PVC DWV pipe
  • 2 -3" Santees
  • 2-3" fernco couplings
  • 2- 3x1-1/2" fernco couplings
  • 20ft of 1-1/2' PVC DWY pipe
Measurements
  • 3" uprights - 9ft 8.5 inches long
  • glue the 3 inch santee or fitting on top of this piece
  • then cut a 3" x 3ft piece to glue in the top of the santee
  • place the 3x1-1/2 rubber fernco coupling on top of this piece
  • cut a 10ft piece of 1-1/2 pipe to slide down inside the 3" pipe.
  • cut a 6 inch piece of 3" pipe and glue into the side of the fitting
  • connect one of the 3" rubber fernco coupling here.
  • cross bar is approx 16ft 10 inches long and is attached to the rubber couplings on each 3" upright.
  • pound two 6ft steel fence posts into the ground
  • stand the goal posts up and set infront of the steel posts
  • use two or three long bungee cords to fasten the PVC pipe to the fence posts. Wrap high and low. Bungee cords with plastic hooks.
  • wrap with padding to protect players from injury.
