Make a Basketpong Game and Net

This is a very easy-to-make project.  It just requires a fair bit of cardboard, hot glue (I like hot glue more than duct tape), and string.  To play it, you will need a ping pong ball and a ping pong racket.  If you would like to challenge yourself by using a smaller ball, I recommend using the small B.B. you get at the dollar store (they are dirt cheap).  You'll learn more about this on the last page.  If you want to challenge yourself even further, you can add obstacles in front of the box.  You can also hang model airplanes from the supports.  This makes it look cool and less nerdy.

Step 1 Get the Parts

This step is easy.  You just need to go outside into your rec-room.  If you have a ping pong racket, that is great.  You will need it.  If you don't have one, that's okay too.  See the last step for more information about this.

You will also need the following:
- about two sticks of hot glue
- a hot glue gun
- about 5 cubic feet of cardboard (this is just an estimate)
- a bunch of string (this depends on the size of the area you are putting this in)
