Instructions

    • 1

      Measure your PVC pipe to size. Typical regulation hockey nets are 4 by 6 feet, but you can make yours a little smaller if you like. Measure two pipes for the length, and two for the height you select, then two more pipes for the backside or draft of the net.

      Cut the PVC pipe to size and layout your pieces in the shape of the net, placing an elbow joint between each piece where the joint is needed.

    • 3

      Attach all the pieces in a dry fit first, to be sure the net is sized properly and stands evenly. You should also be sure you build the street hockey net draft long enough so the net will stand up on its own. These pieces should be at least two and a half feet long.

      Glue the pieces together using a PVC glue which you can buy at the hardware store.
