How To Make a Backyard Wrestling Ring Part 3 Final looks

[@adamgorman4461]

Great vid man, I live in Ireland and me and my friends have been talking about this for a while now. You have actually gave us a great deal of help. It's rather expensive though.

[@pattonfamilypresents6790]

Guys, I found your video through a link on a wikihow. I've got to say reading through the comments and seeing all the props from wrestlers is awesome. You've earned a new subscriber that's for sure. I started out in the business at 12, and my brothers built their first ring in our parents basement back in 1990. I've been around the business my whole life but I retired from the ring due to mounting health issues, not directly linked to my time as a wrestler. I've wrestled in an old Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling ring, one of those 8 sided rings that TNA decided was a good idea, and I've been in a few custom built rings. I've got to say you guys have my respect, especially considering the limited amount of padding you're using. Be careful out there, seriously, it's a dangerous business. I remember getting elbowed in the colarbone one time and not being able to lift my arm for hours and hurting to breathe. I'll definitely take a look at some of your shows you got on here. You guys ever need anything feel free to give me a shout. I can even give you some phone numbers for some guys if you want to move forward with a career in this.

[@wildandwackywade]

I think it looks very professional. Great Job.

[@blackmagick77]

One of the best homemade rings I've seen so far!

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

about 3 days of work, and materials i went with was around 500 for the frame., and tarp, padding was free, ropes where order around 500, about 1000. about 1200 with padding and ordered ropes, going with nylon ropes, about 750

[@xyzzy.]

This was the best ring video i have ever seen

[@jasonbryant.bassguitarplay3641]

Awesome work fellas. And yes it's ways to get alot of your materials cheaper, it just takes time to collect and store. Yours is cheaper than the others I've seen here that have a series of 2×10s? Or wider? for the floor. THATS CRAZY EXPENSIVE AND MORE FLOORING MATERIAL THAN A HOUSE. But for 6 grand they will deliver..brand new. Yours is better. I helped set up one similar for the NAWA in Va . It had a weird looking spring/hydraulic device under center like where your center 2x4 is ....that absorbed bump. it had Boards not plywood ( plywood like yours is my choice) . Love the black plastic idea. 3mm will last a long time. So will Gorrila Tape. In weather. Only thing I would have did is ...on your outside apron board/band I would have padded heavily and permanently secured. Padding is dirt cheap. Love the TIN sound effect!! Epic.. and I would shave the edges off your ring posts ..cheap paint would help with smoothness on posts too. Ain't no real cheap way to go with ring ropes AND TRUST ME you don't want a half ass job on your ropes. Getting dumped over from rope failure is a hospital trip. Those old wrestlers feel all over the ropes before a match. Watch an old video of them inspecting ropes . I work at a building supply house and we recently done an outdoor stage that is total badass but then the dam covid hit and I'm not sure on the status of stage. Again you guys really put together a nice unit. Gonna see your other videos now. Huge wrestling fan from 80s and right in middle of JIM CROCKETT PROMOTIONS territory. Jimmy Valiant has a school right up the road here. I've drank a beer or two with all the Top Carders at Roanoke Marriott here in Va after civic center matches. Again I'm using your design if I build one. Mine would be indoor. Well under roof.

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

+Justin Feliciano the matt is 1/2 inch carpet padding and a tarp that is 16x20 the 17 inch measurement is the distance between the ropes

[@justinbalsis7132]

Hey I have a couple questions that I did not fully understand is there some where specific where I can ask my questions or do I just comment them on here

[@reichmendoza3446]

how to put the tarps?

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

Reichel Mae Mendoza what I would recommend would be running para cord threw the eyelets on the tarp down, to nails on the backside of the 2x12

[@philliplong5790]

Dude! from an Indy guy with a long career in wrestling, and a good knowledge of how to build rings... you guys done very well! Excellent video and instructions. while it is old school, keep it kayfabe guys. lol

[@bloodsweatrespect8963]

About how much did it cost to make it because I'm planning on starting a local wrestling promotion and was trying to find the cheapest way. Please answer. Thanks in advance.

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

soon, dependent on weather and what not we have had terrible weather as of lately, and haven't been able to do videos, we have had rain, pretty much non stop

[@ponfabinico]

Good chop but what is when it's rain what to you do???

[@brucejuice100]

Hey man. this is a pretty good ring idea. Im Blazin Brian. Im semi retired but I was trained by Ivan Koloff back in 1994 and competed in American championship wrestling. our ring was very similar to yours. I remember our side beams were 2 2 by 12s bolted together. 3 2 by 6s would run side to side as support,but they had some kind of steel hooks bolted to each end that would fit right over the 2 by 12s. that would hold it tight. but your cable is still a good idea. the 2 by 8s would fit right over the 2 by 6s. our floor was 21 16 foot 2 by 6s,i think. but plywood is cheaper. im gonna use your plans and build my own traing ring. I have a lot of folks that want to train.

[@wildandwackywade]

where does one buy the padding and canvas? The reason i ask is i can never find it at a low cost always high.

[@jessikamartinez1062]

when is the entrance gonna come out

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

it's the standard size available at lowes, you can order a 16x16

[@justinfeliciano1337]

What did you use for the mat and where do I buy the ring ropes from because my friends and I are looking to build a wrestling ring this spring. And also did you say that you measured it buy 17 then you said WWE does there's at 18 where you talking about the length of the canvas aka the floor.

[@t-bonetheheadhoncho2869]

I'm trying to build a wrestling ring too, I have a picture in my mind what the ring is supposed to look like but where I'm from we're not getting enough nice weather would I have to wait until spring or summer to build It or build it as soon as I have an opportunity?

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

wait for it to warm up, especially if use anything like flex seal to coat your posts

[@karunaelizabeth857]

How much money did this cost all together? I was going to make one and raise the money but how much did you spend? my guess was about 1,000 or more

[@migueljohnson1931]

I have a quieston I know it hurts to be slammed to the mat, but like how does it feel? Like a living room carpet floor, or?

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

more give than a carpeted floor, it takes a little getting use to much harder than a steel framed ring but not bad

[@jauzhellewatts4173]

For the ropes if u just use water holes would that work

[@The-Real-Term]

Good job except for one huge glaring problem and that is your ring post, I'm assuming you dug down 2 1/2 - 3ft but you should never ever ever have wood to earth when building outside, you will have wood rot without question. Always use concrete tubes and pour in sand and rocks/gravel to keep the wood from contacting any earth and back fill the rest with dry concrete and then start adding water so it can start setting up right away in its natural state. Please don't take any of this as hate or whatever but purely giving a bit of advice when doing any type of wood construction outdoors. Also for the padding and or ring cover never staple because over time they will rip and tear from multi-directional stress but instead use a commercial grade contact adhesive to secure the padding and cover, if you ever need to replace and boards just use a heat gun directly on the areas to loosen the adhesive, make your repairs and just re-apply new adhesive as before. Good luck!

[@immersion726]

Term yo. Would there be a way to make it safe without concrete? Let's say I'm looking to move it about? Take it apart, build it up ect ect?

[@joshuamoss1660]

I want to come over and test it out

[@brianconklin5455]

Hey Daniel just what part of the world are you from

[@MCWWrestling]

hey daniel what is the approximate cost of all materials currently my group wrestles in large grass areas but we need a ring

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

around 1,000

[@Nickfurns]

hey man i have a question... can i use rope i have At my house would it b that bad

[@josemontano7767]

Awesome job man I want one for my backyard.

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

9 2x6 in the center there are 3 then one every 2 ft. and 2x4 2 in the center and one running down both sides going the same direction as the 2x6s

[@TylerPegg]

Does the tarp not rip?

[@coldbrrains]

What kind of seat cushions did you buy?

[@darrellrichardson-rainer5431]

Look I want to make this but I'm 13 and I don't know if I can

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

Jack Farrell ask your parents for help

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

as long as the snow doesn't set long, so as long as its swept off after heavy snow

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

about 1000, 500 was the ropes i ordered but if you use nylon about 700

[@codyreaper5996]

Not bad my man. Not bad at all. The only thing I can comment on is that the turnbuckle pads could be a tad bigger lol

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

in retrospect yeah a tad

[@thepredator6903]

hey Daniel Are You Still Doing This Wrestling Thing

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

have not been able to lately but would love to get back into it

[@omarrodriguez8964]

Good video, great build 👍 thanks for Recommendations

[@misterprickly]

My only question is the ware & tear factor... That's the reason why wrestling/boxing rings went from wood to metal. If you look at it, a ring is just a very large bed frame. I knew a guy that made his out of cast iron fence posts and some iron tress that he got from a scrapyard.

[@infamous1rond]

yea...how did you tighten the ropes and set up for them?

[@dansretrogamingandwrestling]

each corner has an adjustable turnbuckle simply tighten the turnbuckle for tighter ropes

[@Johnhernandez1418]

this looks so badass man..make me a back yard wrestling ring lol

[@keg337x]

how much did the ring materials cost and about how long did it take?

[@nsewsaintgaming2790]

question how do u keep rain and termites off the ring?

[@hogsden97]

First 2 videos were poorly made. The speed at which the the camera was moving did not match up with the explanation being given. Very blurring in many parts through out the process. 3rd video speed was great and easy to follow.

[@lucaskyriacou4775]

Please can you show me how to make a ring out of a trampoline the trampoline is 10ft

[@josharnold1212]

hey i just wanted to know how to get the steel cabel for the ropes tight enough so they dont slack off can u please do a video
