How to make a Cricket/sports Net | Making a cricket net in my backyard || JL's Maker Space

Buy the net: haverford.com....
I recently made a cricket net in my backyard. It can also be used for almost every sport.
This took me and my family almost six months to make (:

[@karanpatel6819]

Great project! I am wondering if you could have used leveling sand? Or would that be too soft?

[@JLsMakerSpace]

I think sand would be too soft

[@brianedwards8362]

Awesome video please make more cricket vids

[@thetravellingduck6941]

Oh my gosh I wish I had the time to make that

[@Dontlookatmyprofilepicturee.]

Which bowling machine r u using??? I’m currently trying to make a net but unsure which turf to use, where to get the poles and the actual net. My length is 15m, width is 2.9 metres and height is 2.3m

[@JLsMakerSpace]

I'm using a Paceman Bowling Machine. Just use flat, cheap turf from a hardware store (I got mine from Bunnings). You can also buy the pvc pipe poles from a hardware store. I got my netting from Haverford: haverford.com.au/search?type=product&q=cricket

Thanks 🙏

Cricket cage! A brilliant way to spend lock down in Canberra! Btw...I think Crocs should sponsor this video?

[@adambecfox]

Did using crushed blue metal rather than concrete stand up to the rain okay?

[@JLsMakerSpace]

Yeah, it stands up to the rain fine. It's just a bit softer than concrete, so the ball doesn't bounce as high. It still works well, though.

[@Mushiiiii]

yo
could u link the poles u used for the net please

[@JLsMakerSpace]

Just 50mm x 3m pvc pipe

thnx buddy @@JLsMakerSpace

Where do you get the poles from?

[@JLsMakerSpace]

Hardware store

[@raviamane2255]

Excellent job, JL. I am looking to setup one in my backyard. How many hours you had to work on it (total effort)? How long did it take you (total time in days/weeks)?

[@JLsMakerSpace]

Thanks. This took a few months to plan and build although we weren't working on this non-stop. Most of this time was deciding what sort of grass and netting to use. If you have a good plan, you could build this in around a month.

[@stevemcarthur9246]

Hey great project am thinking of doing that in my backyard can you tell me was that crusher dust? does it break up with the ball hitting it in the same spot all the time? why not concrete? Steve

[@JLsMakerSpace]

The dust is called 'blue metal' and it is basically crushed rock. We didn't use concrete because it would cost too mush and it would be too hard for us to lay. Concrete would work better, but the blue metal works fine. If you were using the blue metal then you need to compact it a lot.

[@stevemcarthur9246]

@@JLsMakerSpace cool thanks

[@raviamane2255]

Did you end up doing it? Any learnings?

[@hmgkt]

Mate repost without music. Please.

[@JLsMakerSpace]

why?

[@wesleyboyd2714]

Was that outside cricket matting or cheaper artificial grass?

[@JLsMakerSpace]

We used artificial turf from bunnings.

[@cricket_hub566]

Bro where’d you get the bowling machine? Excellent setup btw ❤️

[@JLsMakerSpace]

Thanks! I think I got the bowling machine from rebel sport:

@@JLsMakerSpace aight thanks :)

[@dempsycrace2534]

Why did u put one of the poles like slotted in the metal and the others outside and zip tied ?

[@JLsMakerSpace]

It doesn't really matter but one of the poles had a slightly smaller diameter than the others and it couldn't fit around the metal pole.

[@dempsycrace2534]

@@JLsMakerSpace ok that’s brilliant thank you do u think if I put all the poles on the outside then zip tied them like you have will it be strong enough because I was planning on cutting 2x4 in half down the middle then putting it in the ground then zip tieing the pole to it ?

[@JLsMakerSpace]

@@dempsycrace2534 It depends on how big and heavy the net is. I think it will be strong enough but just test one first.

[@dempsycrace2534]

@@JLsMakerSpace ok thanks for your help much appreciated

[@dempsycrace2534]

@@JLsMakerSpace last question what were the metal poles called because I have tried to find them on the internet and I can’t see to find them ?

[@jswn]

Great job 👏, how much did this cost? I am considering to make a similar thing to this.

[@JLsMakerSpace]

This cost around $800 - $1000 AUD. You could probably make it for cheaper if you plan it out and research cheaper material options.

[@jswn]

@@JLsMakerSpace Thank you, 1 more question how much did the artificial turf cost? and what was the name of the product?

[@JLsMakerSpace]

@@jswn The turf cost about $300 all up I think. Just search for "artificial or synthetic Turf"
I used one main big role for the pitch, then put cheaper squares around to save money.
Here is some of the turf I used: www.bunnings.com.au/diy-turf-1-0-x-1-0m-x-7mm-synthetic-turf-mat_p3300314

Net price bro❤😊
