  • Making a backyard racetrack out of gutters is an easy and inexpensive way to bring countless hours of joy to kids of all ages. Daniel Coleman (from "The Wall" series) shows several fun track customization ideas, from a 30' free-standing double track to a 90' fence-mounted track with hills, tunnels, ramps & water hazards.
    STEPS:
    00:29 - Gutter style & material to use
    00:51 - Simple on-ground installation
    01:30 - Building posts for a free-standing track
    01:39 - Hanging the gutters with brackets
    02:24 - Installing the track on a fence
    02:37 - Creating a rolling hills segment
    02:56 - Creating a 90-degree tunnel
    03:32 - Creating a ramp w/ water hazard

    This is the best one so far, the creator has taken much/most/just enough of the tedium of figuring out; the yellow tape speed bumps, exact angles for jumps, width of the jump- through-dirty-water-bucket measurement etc etc...
    And to think I clicked on it by accident! You definitely need more fun content like this on your channel!
    BTW I can see adults racing marbles and or golf balls, while drinking, at the barbecue, of course after letting the kids play with their toy cars. LOL
    Perfect parent and child family build project for young kids all the way to preteen, imho.

    I think if you remove the electrical tape and raise the corner, you’ll have even better results because it’ll come shooting out of the corner.
    P.S. ask the woman in your life what a hairpin looks like. Once you see one, you’ll think, “oh that’s what they mean when they say that.”
