How to Make a Lacrosse Goal Out of PVC Pipe

The standard dimensions of a lacrosse goal are a 4-foot height and a 4-foot width. From front to back, a lacrosse goal is also 4-feet long. Building your own goal from PVC pipe is simple. The following instructions are for a goal with standard dimensions and one that you can disassemble and transport. Once the materials and tools are in hand, making a lacrosse goal takes less than 20 minutes.

Instructions

    • 1

      Cut three sections of PVC pipe with lengths of 4 feet with the pipe saw. Cut two pieces of pipe with lengths of 5-feet 3-inches (63 inches). Slide the two 63-inch pieces of pipe into the leg holes of the Y.

      Put an elbow on the unfitted ends of the two 63-inch pipes. Rotate the holes in the elbows up. Slide a 4-foot piece of pipe in each elbow. Rotate the elbows until both 4-foot pipes are vertical and parallel, perpendicular to the ground.

    • 3

      Slide 90-degree elbows onto the open ends of the 4-foot pipes. Rotate the elbows until the holes face one another. Slide one end of the last unused section of 4-foot pipe into the hole in one of the elbows and slide the other end into the other elbow to create a crossbar that is elevated 4 feet and parallel to the ground.
