4’ x 4’ plywood (7/16” or 1/2” thick) 2” x 4” lumber (11 pieces, all 4’ or less) 1” x 6” lumber (3 pieces, all 4’ or less, use for bottom pieces and back brace)
Questions: Better to double up the sheet? 4x4 glued to 4x4? less bounce? and use plywood NOT chipboard? and stain the whole thing to make it waterproof?
@@famwilly2039 Hiyah, Yes sir we did. I basically followed your set up, with just a few modifications. We used 1/2" Plywood, doubled, glued and screwed together. So 1" thick. I opted to fasten the 2x3 support arms to the base just inside the 2x3 framed perimeter. The Support arms are set at 45 degrees BUT shorter in length which allows us to easily move the platform, thru gates and doorways.. We painted the whole thing with an outdoor oil/latex paint which was in our supplies.. My Niece (Volley Platform owner) will be reading our convo, so I better acknowledge her (minor) contribution!!! ohhhhh a dig from Uncle!!!
Catherine I’m sorry about the delay, I didn’t see the message until now. I found all the wood around my house or around my in laws house, which makes it free, but I would say if you were to buy all of the wood new, plywood and 2x4’s, it would be about $20 or less.
