Don’t put your video down calling it boring! I’ve never done any project even close to this labor intensive and to me this is inspiring. Cheers to an awesome backyard
Great job!!!! As a former professional bowler I will add some comments here > The amount of weight you have on the pinheads could be cut way down for more realistic pin action. Loose the twine rope holding the pins for some 80 lb fishing line or other filament. This will also make it look more aesthetically pleasing. Loose the carabiners/clips for some eye hooks drilled into the top of the pins. Typically you want the most weight to be centered in the widest part of the pin were the ball makes contact.
Cool, nice idea wanted to do the same thing g in my yard but I’m wanting the full 60 foot lane bed, I’d have to take up some of my driveway and my wife said no
Awesome job! I have a half scale lane in my basement and it is 10 years ago this month of May it was built. In NY, I don’t think we could have a permanent outdoor bowling alley with all the rain and snow, it would not last too long. But in Arizona you should be OK! Congratulations! I have a few UA-cam videos, under the name of Mapleridge lane. Enjoy and looking forward to a video of a bowling match with scores! 👍
I feel like you should put leaders on the pin ropes, and find a way to hook the string into the wood of the pin rather than using all of that hardware. Other than that, I think this is amazing. I hope it's still in good shape after 2 years.
Dimensions? It's clearly not 42inches wide or 60 feet long... I think you mentioned 30 feet at one point. Is it just half scale? Where did you get the pins? where did you get the balls? Did you consider using skinnier rope? 30+ years ago I remember playing string bowling at a lane in Hamilton, Ontario. The strings in that bowling alley were pretty much invisible --- now of course it was dim, as all bowling alleys are, and it was a full size 5-pin bowling alley, so it was far away. (yes, I said 5-pin. This is Canada, where we have both five pin and ten pin. The five pin ball looks a lot like the balls that you were using.
You are correct, it is half-scale. 30 feet from the foul line to head pin and 21 inches wide. I chose the ropes that I did for durability in the heat and across pulleys. Here are links for where I got the balls and pins... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NZ291Q8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 www.minibowlingpins.com/

It’s not boring, it’s really good

Great video. Nothing boring about it. Something I would love to be able to build.
Great idea. I didn't think I could build a bowling lane in the garden. Congratulations!
Best of its kind on the webs ! Easy. Inspiring.
Nicely done. Great job on the painting too. Gives it a really nice look.
That’s pretty ingenious.
Very nice work Dave! Looks like a lot of fun; both in build and play. Congrats!
Wow!!!! I'd love this in my 🏠!!!!!!
Wow awesome. Hi from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Cool, nice idea wanted to do the same thing g in my yard but I’m wanting the full 60 foot lane bed, I’d have to take up some of my driveway and my wife said no
Dave, MacGyver would be extremely proud of you.
This is absolutely AMAZING!!

Says video is boring but wears a Kool aid shirt I love this video
Very impressive!
This is actually amazing. Great job!
You sir sure are the best, thanks for this video😀
Nice Job!
Great work
great job! looks really nice :D
This is awesome!
Have you figured out a way to clear the dead wood (pins knocked down) before shooting for spares?
Soo awesome!!! :)

You would never built this today, lumber $ are crazy high!
Please tell me you got a can of WD-40 for the pulleys. 😏
Incredible. I want to build one in my back yard.
Could you share the dimensions of the lane, the gutters and the ball return.
Please and thank you
That's very cool
THIS IS COOL !
That's dope!!
Mate this is sweet
Lmao the way you un-hyped this video up reminded me of Larry David in Curb your Enthusiasm.
Great!
Awesome video! Where did you buy the pins from? I’m having trouble finding much on them
I found this to be the complete opposite of boring!
I wanna know the price of doing this because I’m interested but I play hockey so we already spend a bunch on that lol
Cool lane but as a right handed bowler I usually stand off to the left a bit. That wall would definitely make it hard for me.

Curious if you used a pressure treated or a lumber designed for the elements?
Dude ur my god
Duckpins?
Are the measurements of the lane official specs? Bowling lanes in a bowling alley seems much longer.
The measurements are all 50% of an actual lane.
Do they ever get tangled up?
They really don't!
jebait for the people expecting an actual full length/size Bowling Lane.
Still impressive though.
WHAT EVER YOUR SELLING I AM BUYING.
Love it but i think u should try to make a bigger lane
I built my own bowling lane with a real pinsetter
That be awsome to have a real lane in my own house.
Did you create a video too
@@MRSMELV67 wish i did
do you know how to spell build?
Do you know what the past tense of build is?
What does knowing how to spell build matter matter in construction of a half scale bowling lane in his backyard have to do with any of it good job dave
