About Project
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
