Steps for Building the Rebounder Wall Sporting Gear
Working on an even surface:-

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 then have a bracing leg for the rebound wall. If you're doing it properly, it will point away from the front. Repeat the method for the other end. • Use the four foot 2 x 4 on the bottom, to strengthen the bottom part. You are able to also drill ⅜ inch holes into the base and make use of 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.
