How to Build A Soccer Rebounder?

If you love soccer, then you may have wished to build a soccer rebounder wall as part of your sporting gear. A soccer rebounder wall is actually a large wall you kick a ball against, and it rebounds back to you.
It is a great way to practice the skills of yours, especially when you don't have someone to play with. It also allows you to adjust the angle appropriately if you wish to practice your receiving moves.
When you kick the ball on the wall, it will deflect it into the air, and you can then catch it. It is possible to construct your rebounder wall, thus saving you the cost of purchasing a new one. We will look at the actions you need to take when building a DIY rebounder wall.

Materials

• two x 4 plywood Cut this into 3, 4-foot pieces
• With the remaining 2 x four wood, cut 2, 6 foot pieces
• two x 12 cut into four, 4-foot pieces
• Hinges
• Ruler
• Circular saw for cutting the wood
• Power drill with the ⅜" tip to get the screws into the plywood
• 11/2 inch wood screws
• ¼" x 6-inch spikes • Measurements - a small rebound wall is 36" wide by 24" high. For those who need something larger, you are able to go up to 48 inches by 36 inches in height and width respectively.

Steps for Building the Rebounder Wall Sporting Gear

Working on an even surface:-

• Lay 2 of the four foot two-by-fours parallel and around 3 feet apart.
• Lay a two x 12 across the parallel two x 4s, and nail it into place on both ends.
• Repeat the process for the 3 remaining two x 12s • You needs a wall of 2 x12s and the two x 4s backing it.
• On the external part of the two x four backing, screw a hinge into the top of the two x 12. Note that the hinge pivot point should hang on the side with the two x 4, with the ends in a forward position. Do the same on the other side.
• Now, take one of the 6-foot pieces and screw it into place on the other side of the hinge. You now have a bracing leg for the rebound wall . If you are doing it properly, it is going to point away from the front. Repeat the procedure for the other end.
• Use the four foot 2 x four on the bottom, to strengthen the bottom part. You can also drill ⅜ inch holes into the base and work with a quarter by 6 inch spikes to anchor it into the ground. You will need to pull out the spikes every time you need to move the rebounder.
