Simple DIY Outdoor Horseshoes Game Pit

[@whitethistle]

For us newbies it would be amazing if you wouldn't mind making a grocery list in the description of the materials you've used. I'm trying now to put this together lol

[@edkinsel3553]

Send me a message. I have made an illustration which may help. I suppose you're already done by now?

[@cockatoo8894]

@@edkinsel3553 I could use a grocery list as well lol

[@nobelsteed6440]

Home Depot has a materials list. Just built it. I used 8 of those 3×5 posts and 4 bags of sand, 12" (12) and 8" (20) galv nails.

Man this takes me back. I’ve discovered cornhole as a late teenager and have played that ever since however I have fond memories of playing horseshoes with my dad as well!! I really like the idea of having a permanent home for horseshoes. It makes it so much more accessible just to go and play. Nice build Clinton

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you and great memories. I hope my son will remember it the same way, playing with his dad.

[@susansearle4151]

Great video. Easy to understand and follow. Thanks

[@USMCdad470]

I am going to try this set up. I have all dirt so should be pretty good to go. Thanks for sharing

[@JG24AJ]

Never a dull moment around your home / shop! Highly enjoy your videos. *****. That's pretty cool!

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you. We stay pretty busy around here.

[@Winkiedoodles]

Great project. Functional and designed for family fun. Loved it. Don

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you Don

Okay, my hubby now has this on must build for our back yard. We already have a in ground pool and we are slowly adding things that make us the attraction for the families. So they will want to vacation with us that way they bring the grandkids and nieces and nephews to us. We know that we are sneaking and we are okay with it....lol

[@SpecificLove7]

That is part of the reason we are adding upgrades to our backyard too. I have plans for a few more backyard projects I hope to finish this year.

[@bobbyfowler7319]

Again a great useful video. Great looking project. Got to watch out for the neighborhood dogs. Best wishes.

[@SpecificLove7]

Fortunately our backyard is fenced, so the other dogs stay out.

[@freda2758]

LOL! I had to do a double check. "Is that Jordan Klepper?"

[@nobelsteed6440]

Thanks for sharing. I think I would have just sat a 3×4 skid over it. Lighter, and free.

[@frankesposito6041]

Really great set up

[@maryanncamacho1570]

Love it! Brings childhood memories back of my dad, brothers, grandpa and uncles playing horse shoes at our summer home in Canada. I have a cabin in Colorado and would love this exact horse shoe game in my yard. Can you give me a baseball figure of what the would cost would be in materials. I’ll have to hire a handyman to build it for me. Thank you! MAC

[@SpecificLove7]

With today's crazy wood prices, I'm not really sure

[@G_RAThbun]

Thank you I'm going to do that in my backyard. But I think I'm going to use railroad ties why you ask because I can get those for free from a friend LOL

[@EvolutionPowerTools]

Awesome project! Perfect for summer days in the yard!

[@SpecificLove7]

Thanks, they sure are fun

[@DIYMinded]

Nice video. I have been making a DIY game video each day to pass time in lockdown. I will add this to my list. Subscribed.

[@sr20boostjunkie]

Thanks for the video!👍¡ I'm starting this project 2day bought 10 8ft pressure treated landscape ties can't wait to throw some shoes this year old pits are beat up. Wonder what else I can do 🤔

[@robpniewski9856]

There's a build on home depot's site that has the cut list. I changed it up a little and made it four timers high. Super easy

[@robpniewski9856]

*timbers

[@LarsDcCase]

good video

[@dougsmith4525]

Thanks for the vid! How many timbers did you end up using? TY

[@MrRickwe76]

The only thing I would add is a front runner to control sand & prevent mower/weed eater from catching the weed cover.

[@SpecificLove7]

That is an excellent idea, thank you

[@kctsp6631]

Nice!!!

[@Guitargrease1]

Hi. I'd like to set up old school games events involving this sort of thing inside a medium sized room...local church hall. What other old school games do you know of that are physical like this that might be suitable?

[@reidlaroque5161]

That was a great video I plan to build one just curious are you able to put the pegs 35 ft apart or for ladies can we have them start 5 ft in front of the pig and still make it 40 ft for men

[@kevinfeckner3444]

Do you have a lumber an hardware list?

[@rockyjjones8989]

Great idea. I like the cover you made to put over the horse shoe pit. I like the idea you came up with for the cover. BTW I like the beard. Looks good. I have an idea for ya. Since it is spring think you could build a 1 in 2 picnic bench. Would you also include all the deminsions and hardware.

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you. I built something like that last year, but sorry no plans. If you are still interested, here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ3Jn31mn7mdf80

[@daleweiss6881]

Great video. can you provide the number of the 8" and 12" nails? Also do you have written plans?

[@jamieseiple]

Very nice pits, however you need to drive the stakes into a thick piece of wood so they don't shift or vibrate. :-)

[@memphisgoat9203]

Plus you can use those pit covers as a table

[@Rosierosebowl1]

Do you have a link to a parts list for your build a horse shoe video? What size nails did you use? What length nails for each landscape timber where can I purchase them? Thx.

[@cavyboy99]

How long are those two nails sizes

[@williamgraves5922]

What in the he'll is that my friends and would be tripping over that stuff. It's all cools tho I dig it.

[@johnrhoades1791]

The sand should be deeper. You need at least 4 or 5 inches of sand. The stakes that come with those sets are not long enough. You need a 3/4" stake that is at least 3 ft. long

[@Qukslvr]

1” stake

[@TheLightHouseLady]

Great video! Appropriate Bible verse!

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you, it fits

[@1ubby]

Great job do you remember how many landscaping boards it took for both pits?

[@wbrewster26]

So I did not build this but he said what the length he cut all of them and how many there was of each cut. I did the math on those measurements and it came out to be 9 of them. They are 8ft long. I would get 10 just to be safe.

[@Tom-rh3pj]

Wouldn't it look better if you cut plywood down to dimensions of inside of box then cut hole out for the rod.. Put a handle on it.

[@thenewyorker0042]

I Would be much stronger if you stagger the wood. Like the way a cab is built

[@martymcmart]

Great looking pit, however my concern is that by squaring it off like that with high walls around the sides and back you are making it a lot easier. Now someone is able to shoot too far, or too much to the left or right of the post and there is a chance it will hit off the wall and bounce back closer to the stake then it would have if the walls were not present.

[@jasonstoltenberg6029]

No shoe that hits wood counts

[@brianstroh7074]

Shoes that hit wood don't count. Its more a protective barrier so shoes don't roll far outside.

[@biptetk]

Hi! What are the lengths of the nails used? Thanks

[@SpecificLove7]

8-12 inches

[@biptetk]

@@SpecificLove7 Thanks!

[@cotywilliams4075]

How many did you need ?

[@agustasister5624]

That xould qlso be used as a backyard seat if u made it sturdy...id me .ore worred about cats pooping in it.

[@SpecificLove7]

With our dog in the same space, a cat would be stupid to go there.

[@brucekwak2420]

Shoot the neighbors cat works every time I’m telling ya

[@corbettwoodruff4774]

More sand.

[@edkinsel3553]

Send me a message. I have made an illustration which may help. I suppose you're already done by now?
