Disc Golf Goal Construction Plans

Instructions for making the Disc Golf goal (PULT)



You too can make a Disc Golf goal (or) Portable Ugly Lightweight Target (PULT)!

Materials:

- 1 Cheap full-size wood-handled umbrella with 8 stays(I got one at the dollar store

for $3.99)

- 20' of plastic chain (the most expensive part of the PULT)

- 1 giant plant pot saucer 24"-26" in diameter (look at your local giant hardware store)

- 1 package of cable ties (at least 10)

- 3' of 1" PVC pipe

- 1 strait 1" PVC pipe joint

- 1 plastic tent stake

- clothes line

- assorted screws








Directions:



Upper chain assembly.



First check the fit of of the umbrella handle into the PVC pipe. Either whittle

it down or add some tape so that it fits snuggly 4-5" into the pipe and can be

easily inserted or removed.



Open the umbrella. Measure across opposite stays to get a 24" diameter, add an

additional inch to bend into a hook and cut the stays and material all the way

around. The stays are pretty tough so you will have to use a hack saw or better

wire cutters than I have. Save the extra material and stays, you may need them

later. Using pliers bend 1" of each stay into a loop. With the umbrella open, tie

equal lengths of clothes line between each loop so that the line is tight all the

way around. This keeps the stays from flopping around when a disc hits the chains.

If you wish, you can sew the umbrella material to the line to close off the top.

Cut 8 26" lengths of plastic chain and attach one to each of the bent loops on the

stays using cable ties. Use another cable tie to form a loop around the umbrella

shaft and through the bottom link of each length of chain.



Basket.



Make a hole big enough to pass the umbrella handle through in the center of the

plant pot saucer. Don't make it any bigger than 1". Attach the PVC joint to the

bottom of the saucer directly under the hole by drilling holes and and securing it

with 4-6 small screws. To expand the catching area, drill small holes at an angle

through the sides and down through the bottom of the saucer. Push the left over stays

through the holes so that the umbrella material extends up and out to the sides.

You will probably have extra material and have to fold some over.
