Pond Hockey Goal Plans

Print Instructions

Equipment

1 Circular Saw
1 Power drill

Materials

9 2" Deck Wood Screws
24-30 3.5" Deck Wood Screws
3 8' 2×6" Pressure Treated Lumber
1 3/4" 12"x6' Square Unfinished Pine Board Can use 1/2" plywood cut to this size too, but this was cheaper.

Instructions

STEP 1. CUT WOOD

Cut list for frame:
1 – 72" 2×6 board
2 – 24" 2×6 board
2 – 4" 2×6 board pieces
Cut list for Goalie Box
2 – 46" 2×6 boards
3 – 8.5" 2×6 boards

STEP 2. BUILD FRAME

Use 72" 2×6 board & attach a 24" 2×6 board to each end using 3.5" screws.
Reinforce each corner with 4" 2×6 board piece using 3.5" screws.
Attach the "crossbar" (3/4" 12"x6' Square Unfinished Pine Board) across the top of the open end of the goal frame. Drill pilot holes if using a prefab board for the crossbar to prevent splitting. Use 2" screws here.

STEP 2. BUILD GOALIE BOX

Take the two 46" 2×6 boards & insert three 8.5" 2×6 boards in-between to create a reinforced box

STEP 3: ATTACH GOALIE BOX TO CROSSBAR

Center your "goalie" on the crossbar, ~12" from inside post of frame.
Use 2" screws to attach top of the crossbar into the frame. Drill pilot holes if using a prefab board for the crossbar to prevent splitting.

Tips for Building Pond Hockey Goal

Use pre-cut board for crossbar – you can use plywood, but will need to cut to size.
Check boards for straightness – I didn’t check one board and it was VERY crooked so I had to redo with a different board. You want your goal flat on the ice.
Use Pressure Treaded Lumber – This is an outdoor goal so use pressure treaded to prevent rotting.

Now Let’s Play Hockey!

I hope this brings joy to your family and friends as it has mine. HUGE thanks to US POND HOCKEY which was the inspiration and plan source. For more DIY content, see Full Dad Mode Fix it section, including my most popular how-to’s for double barn doors and board and batten.
