The games need to be sturdy enough to take a beating, though, and they should be collapsible for easy transport and storage. To cover my bases, I made a DIY ladder golf game set from 1 x 4 boards and dowels fitted with screw-together connectors that will stand the test of time. I know our family will love this set for years to come, and I hope yours will, too!<\/p>\n<h3>Tools<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Tape measure<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/DEWALT-15-Amp-12-in-Double-Bevel-Compound-Miter-Saw-DW716\/100384716?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD22%7C000000%7CJenniferLargesse%7C98886\">Miter saw<\/a>\u00a0(You can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/tool-truck-rental\/Miter-Saw-Compound-Sliding-Laser\/LS1216L\/\">rent a miter saw<\/a> from The Home Depot.)<\/li>\n<li>Drill\u00a0(You can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/tool-truck-rental\/18V-Cordless-Drill\/LXPH03\/index.html\">rent a cordless drill<\/a> from The Home Depot.)<\/li>\n<li>Nail gun\u00a0(You can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/c\/nailers_and_floor_installation_equipment_rental\">rent a nail gun<\/a> from The Home Depot.)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Bosch-Daredevil-5-8-in-x-6-in-Spade-Bit-DSB1007\/203274552?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD22%7C000000%7CJenniferLargesse%7C98886\">\u215d-inch spade bit<\/a> to countersink a hole for each insert nut<\/li>\n<li>11\/32-inch drill bit to drill a hole for each insert nut<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc-inch drill bit to make a hole in each golf ball and drill holes for the wing screws<\/li>\n<li>3\/16-inch drill bit (or similar) to drill pilot holes<\/li>\n<li>Hammer<\/li>\n<li>Bar Clamps with threaded handle <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Materials<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>(6) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/1-in-x-4-in-x-6-ft-Common-Board-914673\/202074473?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD22%7C000000%7CJenniferLargesse%7C98886\">1 x 4 x 6 Boards<\/a> to create the legs and uprights<\/li>\n<li>(3)<a href=\"http:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/1-in-x-48-in-Wood-Round-Dowel-HDDH148\/203360196?cm_mmc=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD22%7C000000%7CJenniferLargesse%7C98886\"> 1 x 48-in.

To create a decorative detail on the legs, clip 1 inch from the top corner of the ends of each leg piece.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 3: Layout the Legs<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98891 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/e4880eb9a5f0bd3f43e01fe58abcc7ca.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Ladder Golf Game\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The legs are made from three &#8220;layers&#8221; creating a slot in the middle that will hold the uprights.<\/p>\n<p>To create the first two layers, first place a 24-inch-long leg piece flat on the work surface. To designate a space for the upright to later be inserted, center a scrap block as a placeholder on the leg, running perpendicular to its length.<\/p>\n<p>Place a 6-inch block on each side of the scrap piece.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 4: Secure the Blocks<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98892 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/36b38da7ee868cf82ef16c94f1921342.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Ladder Golf Game\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Apply wood glue between the block and the leg piece. Using a nail gun, shoot 1-inch nails through each block and into the leg piece. Repeat to attach the remaining blocks to three additional leg pieces.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 5: Finish Assembling the Legs<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98893 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ac0956399145a9ae249e9ee5c1fc2302.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Ladder Golf Game\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Apply wood glue to the face of each block. Place a leg piece onto the assembly. Then, use the scrap block to ensure the ends align. Shoot 1 inch nails through the top board and into the blocks to secure the parts in place.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat to assemble the three remaining legs.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 6: Detail the Uprights<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98894 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/8189a7ba5badd31c0bffd7dc096b2975.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Ladder Golf Game\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Set the miter saw to 45-degrees. To create a decorative detail on the top end of each upright, clip 1 inch from both corners as shown.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 7: Prep the Legs and Uprights for Assembly<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98895 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/c32035d2acc80a9b8564d67ea9e8126b.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Ladder Golf Game\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Slide an upright into a leg slot until its bottom edge sets flush with the underside of the leg. Mark a depth of 1 inch on the end of a 3\/16 drill bit (or similar) using painter&#8217;s tape. Mark the center of the leg, and then drive a pilot hole through the leg and into the upright.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat on the remaining leg and upright pairings.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 8: Prep the Uprights<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98896 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bc9273250b3e539be841c04e8e7e3083.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Ladder Golf Game\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Remove each upright from the leg. Using a \u215d-inch spade bit, drive a \u215b-inch-deep impression centered on the pilot hole in the upright.<\/p>\n<p>Next, mark a \u00bc-inch depth on an 11\/32-inch drill bit. Drill a hole into the center of the impression.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 9: Install the Insert Nut<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98897 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ed469b5241dfc9b5ac84d4500b7db7d4.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Ladder Golf Game\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using a hammer, drive an insert nut into the hole until the rim of the insert nut sets flush with the surface of the upright.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat to install an insert nut in each upright.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 10: Finish Prepping the Uprights<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98898 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/f0a497c34ae769fd34ed2828b45b19da.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Ladder Golf Game\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On an upright, measuring from the base, mark three lines spaced 13 inches apart. Mark the center point of each line.<\/p>\n<p>Stack two uprights together on a scrap block. Drill a \u00bc-inch-wide hole through the uprights at the center of each line.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat to prep the remaining set of uprights.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, open the pilot hole at the base of each upright to accept a wing screw using a \u00bc-inch drill bit.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 11: Cut the Dowels<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98899 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/caeee3e14d64b6aab403ee39066f4208.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Ladder Golf Game\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using a miter saw cut each dowel to a length of 24 inches.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 12: Prep the Dowels<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98900 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/c595ffebdf98dce66fef6a9e508be6f5.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Ladder Golf Game\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Securely clamp each dowel to the work surface with a least two bar clamps. Be sure to tighten the clamps as tight as possible to avoid the dowel from slipping.<\/p>\n<p>Using a drill fitted with a \u215d-inch spade bit, drill a \u215b-inch impression centered in the end of each dowel. Just as with the uprights, drill a 11\/32-inch hole into the center of the impression.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 13: Install the Insert Nuts<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98902 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/12bf6849649bd82f5e605a6c06753b58-1.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Ladder Golf Game\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using a hammer, drive an insert nut into the end of each dowel until the rim of the insert nut sets flush with the end of the dowel.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 14: Assemble the Legs and Uprights<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98907 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ca35a2fa516308323175762901f0fbed.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Ladder Golf Game\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Slide the uprights back into their legs with the insert nut facing the side of the leg with the hole.
