Fun Summer Project: How to Build Your Own Backyard Bowling Alley

Modified: Jul 7, 2017 by Vanessa Beaty · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

What do you do when your local bowling alley closes? Probably just get on with your life and wonder what to do on the weekends now that your favorite pastime is, well, a past time. I’ve seen a lot of posts where people share driveway bowling games they’ve invented, usually with a set of homemade pins. A lot of those games look pretty fun, but let’s face it, they are pretty much just “thrown together.”

… Not this guy. When Makgyver87 on Imgur found out his local bowling alley was closed, he decided to take matters into his own hands and build a proper bowling alley lane in his own backyard! Seriously, check out the post and you will be blown away by how amazing this thing is. You can watch as it evolves from the original sketches through to completion. Be a little impressed! He's sharing the full plans and the steps he took to build this beauty.
