How to Build a Portable Washer Toss Game

Learn how to build a washer game box.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2"x4" wood (approximately 12' long)
• Mitre saw (to cut 45 degree angles)
• Six 2.5" Washers
• Two 4" long, 4" diameter PVC pipes
• Two pieces of 13.5"x13.5" plywood
• Some nails
• Some glue
• Hammer
• (Optional) Two Latches and Two Latch Keepers
• (Optional) Handle

1. Measure and cut eight 17" long sections of the 2x4's. These will be used to create your boxes.

2. Cut the ends of each 17" piece at a 45 degree angle (making the inside dimension of each section 14").

3. Nail or glue the pieces together to make a square.

4. Take the 13.5"x13.5" plywood and line it up with the square you made with the 2x4s and nail it to the bottom to create a base.

5. Use glue to secure the 4" diameter PVC pipe (4" long) to the center of the plywood in the box you just made.

6. (Optional) Add latches to two sides of the one of the boxes and latch keepers to the other box to mate (so that the plywood sides are on the outside) and a handle for easier storage and carrying around.

7. (Optional) You can paint the washers to differentiate the teams. Each team gets 3 washers. Paint 3 washers in red and 3 in blue.

Tips & Warnings

• Rules:
• Form two teams of two.
• Place the boxes about 20 feet apart.
• One member of each stands next to one box and the others next to the other box.
• Throw the washer to try to make it in the box.
• If you make it in the PVC pipe, it is worth 3 points. If you just make it to the box, it is worth 1 point.
