How to build an easy target backstop! For pellet guns, throwing knives, darts, bows, crossbows...
Переглядів 253Рік тому
How to build an easy backstop for all kinds of target practice. I usually put a target in front of it to take the impact and use the boards as a backup. If you were going to throw axes or something, I'd use some 2x6's instead of fence boards. I screwed in the round for throwing knives with just one 6" screw.

    Hi What did you use to attach your beams to the posts? Did you consider cast in place brackets on the concrete footings instead of the posts? Thanks 😊

    • @markkarnowski5323
      @markkarnowski5323 2 місяці тому

      Hi, there were just simpson ties specific to my beam and post size, I had to order them online though, they weren't typical at a big box store. The engineer actually decided the posts be embedded in concrete and to the specific depth. I think a bracket wouldn't be sturdy enough and would need cross bracing. I'd ask an engineer :) I just drew my own plans, then an engineer looked them over for $800 and gave me attachment types and strength needed for my area (it is built for a crazy amount of snow load!).. Cheers

    • @vtbakerbuilder
      @vtbakerbuilder 2 місяці тому

      @@markkarnowski5323 Thanks I have an engineer who approved my plans too. I was just curious about your reasons. Where I'm building, that type of foundation was very popular for decades. It's very strong. I am going to use steel strapping embedded into the concrete as well as the posts. That way I can tie the building to the concrete itself and I think it will add strength. I'm in a high wind zone. I work by myself too. Some days I think I've lost my mind. Lol Thanks!🙂

    • @markkarnowski5323
      @markkarnowski5323 2 місяці тому

      Hi. They were just Simpson ties. They weren't standard at a big box store though and I ordered them online. I think there were two types, I think the green and brown 6x6's are different sizes. But then it has different sizes on top, depending on the beams you are using. I "think" I had 5.5" bottoms to fit the 6x6, then 4.5" top for beam of 3x1.5" boards nailed together.

    Maybe tie a pc of looped paracord through the bolt hole on the post and drop the paracord through the casing from bottom. You can then pull paracord from top of casing and it should guide that post right up through top hole. Great vid though. Subbed you to look at cabim vids as well. Good stuff man. Be well.

      I actually just looked on google for structural engineer near me. Told them I had a 436 sq ft cabin and what would it cost to look over the plans and give me the necessary papers for a building permit. One was $1600, the next was too busy, the next said $800. Easy choice :) Usually they charge on sq footage I think.

    You should have used cones for the concrete with brackets, that way the wood wouldn't be touching the ground. That way you would have a 100 year building as opposed to a 20 year building.

    I bought one of these brand new. It sucks!! I hate it!! After 8 months it already gets stuck into soak mode and never comes out of it. Even with soak turned off. I now have to call for warranty service. It better be covered, or I'm just gonna through it out. It is loud, never drains and spins enough. Cloths were always super damp after use, no matter what type of cycle you run. Yes, stuff always gets torn, stuck, or ripped in the agitator. My girlfriend bought it for me, so I can't ever say anything bad bout it sorry I'm venting here bout what a hunk of S#!t it is. I will never get a GE appliance again cause of this cruddy experience.
