Description of Build

This backyard game will be a surprising hit for all ages.  Let your kids play or grab a drink and trash talk your wife. You’ll see ideas for adding glow paint to play under the stars or lights running up the support beams.  If you enjoy hosting backyard events this is a must-have.

Cost Estimate

$100.

These estimates are created on the assumption that you will buy all materials from the list and no new tools.  This number will fluctuate by supply costs in your area, the amount of extra materials you have, and your access to tools needed. 

Time Estimates

4-6 hours.

Time estimates are very tough to calculate and manage expectations since we all learn at different speeds.  Mostly, variations in time depend on your skill level.  Items that you’ll need to consider for yourself when setting a plan are “how well do I know the tools on the list”, “am I more of a practice perfectionist or cut and fix person”, “do I want customizations/personalizations”.  The low end of this number is how quickly the teacher could go through the course and build the item.  When taking this course you’ll make a pledge to never rush when using any power tools or dangerous materials.
