This definitely looks like a good option if you have all of those things, laying around your shop. I went to Lowe’s this afternoon to buy the materials and I was right around $60 not including the wood
I wouldn't put the clamp on the rubber hose...if the fit is tight like the other joint, it won't fall off....that clamp is going to scratch up some bats because ...well, some bad swings are going to happen....great job all around...thanks
I'm not sure about the net. I got it from a sale awhile back. It definitely is heavier duty than a soccer net, but it really works great strung up between two trees. My boys hit baseballs into one way and then on the other side it's behind the lacrosse goal/bounce-back board. Thanks for watching.
One thing I've done to help the rubber piece last longer is grind or file the top edge of the half inch pipe so it's not so sharp. The backstop is a piece of surplus netting that I hang between two trees. I'm not really sure where you could get something like that. I just happened upon it at a sale. Good luck with the project, I'm sure your girls will get a lot of use from the tee. Thanks for watching. 😀
Most definitely. I was fortunate to most of the materials on hand. This design is very heavy duty and will last for years so it might be worth the investment. Thanks for watching.
A CHEAP tee might be that much, like Country Family said, this is a tee that's gonna last YEARS! Gonna steal a few of your ideas--I had previously built a DIY tee with PVC and wrapped top with inner tube (emulating a Tanner tee) BUT, in practice not so durable. Your solution looks to have good flex AND more durable.
$15-25 tees are a PIA, they bend and constantly have to be readjusted. I was looking for a Tanner Tee and came across a link to this on a forum. The cost in parts is definitely worth this build, $100 tee for less than 1/2 the price.
Hi Shobe, thanks for the comment. The bottom pipe is 1" rigid conduit. (schedule 40). The upper pipe is 1/2" rigid conduit. Black gas pipe could also be used as it is the same size as conduit. Hope this helps.
Arthur Lamarche the black rubber piece is a garbage disposal connector. Should be able to find that at any hardware store or home center. Hope this helps, thanks for watching.
depending on the age and skill of your kids - this tee will result in broken bats and or injury when they hit below the rubber... and if they are 12 and under, they will certainly miss below the ball
I just made the same one today, thanks to your tutorial. I know the kids are gonna love it! Thank You Sir!!
You're welcome. I'm glad it turned out for you. Thanks for watching! 😀

Great job Cory. Very good use of around the shop materials.
Thank you for sharing your idea... make one for my son so he can practice.
Thank you Eduard.
Awesome! Thank you!
How long did the rubber garbage disposal adaptor hold up? Thinking of using hydraulic hose.
My son broke the adapter the 1st day trying it. Did the hydraulic hose hold up better?
Some heat shrink tubing would fit the top on better if u really wanted

Thanks Brian!
Gonna make this for my 8yr old little girl who likes to swing away!
Thanks for the idea! what kind of net is this? it's seems to be more dense than a soccer net

Thank You !!!! Great Idea!!!!
+Danette Bell thanks for watching
Thank you 💪🏿
Gonna make this for my girls (4 and 6) this weekend.
What are you using as your net/backstop?
One thing I've done to help the rubber piece last longer is grind or file the top edge of the half inch pipe so it's not so sharp.

Hi there. Where I live, I can't find the 1" steel pipe. Do you think this would work with 3/4" for the outside pipe, and 1/2" for the inside pipe?
1/2" rigid pipe is 7/8" OD so it won't fit inside a 3/4" pipe
How much in total for materials?
@CountryFamily could you put links in the description for the products you used.
Thanks for the suggestion. I added those links in the description.
Nice if u already have the stuff, a T is usually about $15-25 it be cheaper to buy it

What size of the metal
Hi Shobe, thanks for the comment. The bottom pipe is 1" rigid conduit. (schedule 40). The upper pipe is 1/2" rigid conduit. Black gas pipe could also be used as it is the same size as conduit. Hope this helps.
@@CountryFamily thank how about my another question ????
@@CountryFamily how about the floor flange what size is that
@@shobeagmata8808 the floor flange is 1" to fit the lower pipe.
@@CountryFamily thank you sir
hello , please ,what is the name of the material: the small tube (pipe) in black rubber at the end to put the ball? thanks
Arthur Lamarche the black rubber piece is a garbage disposal connector. Should be able to find that at any hardware store or home center. Hope this helps, thanks for watching.

You might want to start them off with a Little Tikes set: amzn.to/38mZSTq
Could put a pool noodle over that part maybe?
I think I'll be making this tomorrow my dog keeps chewing up the plastic ones.
