Make your own street hockey, lacrosse or soccer goal! Heavier than PVC so won't blow away in the wind, but inexpensive and easy to make! Free plans by ANA-WHITE.com
Here's a great gift idea that will get the kids moving and outside!
Build them a lacrosse, street hockey or soccer goal!!!
You can use this goal indoors or out, you can even stain it up and make it "farmhousey" and feature it in your rec room or basement. It's much less expensive than buying a real goal, and more substantial than a plastic one - so won't get blown away in the wind or knocked over by a hard shot.
This street hockey goal was built by Jaime Costiglio for Handbuilt Holiday

For the outdoor version (2x4s), use 2-3/4" screws.
Step 2

OUTDOOR VERSION: Build the upper frame exactly as you did the lower frame in step 1 (but legs will be longer) using the 2-3/4" self tapping screws. Then attach to the lower frame at the bottom corner.
Step 3
BOTH VERSIONS: Position cross piece where it will be installed and mark the angles. Cut the angles with a circular saw or jigsaw.
