Pvc Soccer Goal – Step By Step DIY

Want to help your budding soccer superstar by helping them practice in the backyard? Don’t have really deep pockets? Well, good news, you can easily and inexpensively build your very own pvc soccer goal. It can usually be built and ready to go in just a couple hours, and you can really save yourself some money by going this route (without sacrificing the quality).

Here is an easy to follow, step by step blueprint on how to build a 4′ x 5′ durable, and inexpensive, backyard soccer goal:

1. You’ll need two 5 foot sections, two 4 foot sections, four 3 foot sections and four 1 foot sections. Get your pvc pipe, measure and cut (remember, measure twice, cut once!). Make sure that you sand off any rough edges that might be there after you cut the pipe.

2. When assembling your goal, lay it all out first, don’t attach the pieces to each other yet, to make sure that you’ve got everything right. You don’t want to find out you made a mistake after you’ve got all the pieces glued together. When you assemble the base you can use an elbow and attach one of the 1 foot sections to a three foot section. Lay each piece on the ground and add a T connector to the ends. Attach them using one of the 3 foot sections.

3. Repeat this process to build the top of the goal. The only difference is that you will attach the 1 foot sections to the 4 foot sections. Add elbows to the short sides of the base facing upwards.

4. Insert the bottom of the 4 foot sections to the base elbows. Attach the bottom and top pieces to the 5 foot pieces. This will help support the goal.

5. Once you’ve got all the pieces laid out properly, glue them permanently into place using PVC cement. Remember, that PVC cement dries quickly so don’t decide to take a break until it’s all put together.

6. Add the netting. Use zip ties (you can also use bungee’s, twine, or velcro) and attach the net to the frame. Make sure to put the fasteners every few inches so your net is securely attached. Also leave a little slack when attaching the net so it doesn’t rip apart after a few hard shots.

7. If you want to add some padding to the goal all you have to do is attach foam with duct tape to the PVC pipe. You will also need an anchoring system for your goal. You can either make it permanent or not. If you want a more permanent net just leave the ends of the PVC pipe a little longer, dig a hole and fill it with cement. You can then sink the extra PVC pipe at the bottom of the goal into the cement.

If you don’t want to permanently attach the goal to your backyard, you can just get some stakes and fasten them to the goal and then drive the stakes into the ground.

A little time and about $50 dollars is all it takes to be a hero to your kids. It’s pretty easy to make a pvc soccer goal, so what are you waiting for?

4 Gambling Mistakes New Poker Players Make

Poker is a game of chance, but there is still a large amount of skill involved when playing. Many new poker players make gambling mistakes that cost them a lot of money and get them out of tournaments. Some novices play free poker online and never win because of terrible gambling techniques. However, by knowing four common gambling mistakes that are made by new players, you can greatly increase your chances of winning games and tournaments.

1. Going all-in too often or in obvious desperation. In many tournaments with play money, some players go all-in the first hand. It may work for a few times, but after a while, someone will call you. In that case, you better hope that you have actually good cards. All-in can be used to get players to fold, but it should really only be used if you have a solid hand and could possibly double your stack. People should bluff very infrequently with an all-in. Going all-in with a bad hand is what many people call “bad poker.” Sometimes you can get lucky, but the best players bet carefully.

2. Under betting. If you have a good starting hand, don’t be afraid to raise pre-flop, or bet high after the flop. If you have a great hand, then slow playing can work very well. However, when you do start placing bets in a no-limit game, they should not be too small. One reason is that you won’t end up winning as much money if you bet small. Another reason is that you are giving incentives for many other players to stay in the hand. Therefore, you are giving other players chances to hit a hand that is better than yours. The best players bet just the right amount to get it where only one or two players call. In that case, your odds for winning are a lot better.

3. Over betting. Some players get very excited when they have a good hand. They may go all-in, or lay down outrageous bets. Not only is it a waste of a good hand, but also people can start to read you. If you constantly over bet only when you have something, then people will always fold and you won’t win money. However, if you don’t have anything, then people will also know because you aren’t laying down monstrous bets.

4. Finally, it is important to know when to fold. The best poker players are constantly watching other players, and guessing who could have better hands than they have. If someone bets high, and you know you have the best possible hand (which occurs rarely), then you can call. However, you need to know the odds of the other person having a better hand. Additionally, many new poker players call large bets when they don’t have anything, they just need a draw card. This is the worst type of gamble. Seldom will a person get that final card they need for a straight or a three-of-a-kind. Knowing the odds is key to playing good poker.

New poker players are often very easy targets for experienced players. Many new poker players make gambling mistakes that can be capitalized on. In order to avoid those mistakes, it is important to study the odds in poker, analyze what other players could have, and bet intelligently. If you do that, then you will have a fairly successful poker playing experience.
