Tips On How To Build A Wrestling Ring

Wrestling is a sport which has gotten increasingly popular in modern times. Especially with programs like RAW which features various wrestlers that people have come to know and love, more and more persons are becoming interested in watching and even participating in wrestling.

Wrestling is done in a wrestling ring which is specially made to lessen injury to wrestlers. Schools and gyms will usually have wrestling rings or soft pads which can be used for wrestling but a wrestling ring really is not that difficult to build. Making one does require a number of various sorts of materials however, so be ready to spend a bit to get all the things you need. However, you can cut costs if you can get the different items second hand.
So if you are interested in building a wrestling ring, here is what you will need to do.

Required Tools
Post hole digger
Drill
Saw
Tape measure
Hammer

Required Materials
Screws
Nails
Cement
Metal posts (4 inches in diameter)
Wood planks
Mattresses/Cushions
Nuts and washers
Eye Hooks
Mattress pads (2-3 inches thick)
Canvas/tarpaulin
Foam
Turnbuckles
Bungee cord

Instructions
First select a level, debris-free location for your wrestling ring. The ring must be at least 8x8 feet in size if you are strapped for space however, if you have sufficient space make it no less than 12x12. Use the tape measure to lay out the size of your wrestling wring and then get started.

The metal posts should be about 7 feet in length. Use the post hole digger to make 4 holes at the 4 corners of your wrestling ring, each 3 feet deep. Cement the poles into the holes and allow them to set; 4 feet of the pole should be out of the ground.

Use the hammer and nails to connect the wood planks to create a base for the wrestling ring making sure that the planks are directly lined up with the metal posts. Use the mattresses or cushions to fill up the remainder of base and then put plywood on top and use the screws to secure the plywood to the base. Alternately you can lay tires within the base and then place the mattresses and plywood on top of these for added padding.

On top of the plywood lay the mattress pads or some other soft layer so that wrestlers do not injure themselves by falling on just the plywood. Place canvas/tarpaulin on top of the mattress pads and sew, tape, tie, or staple the edges down as firmly as you can to keep the canvas/tarpaulin from moving about.

Now on the outside face of the 4 metal posts drill a few holes, one underneath the other (about 3 in all) and use nuts and washers to put an eyehook in each hole. Put the turnbuckles in the eyehooks and run the rope/bungee cord right around the ring to work as the ropes for your wrestling ring. Use the foam (or thick pillows) to cover all of the metal posts to avoid injury and your wrestling ring is ready for use.

Tips and Warnings
To prevent rope burn when wrestlers rub against the ropes of the ring, wrap the ropes with duct tape.

Test the ring thoroughly prior to using it, including the ring ropes, tarp and turnbuckles to ensure that all parts are stable and secure. Run around in the ring to make sure that it can manage your weight.

If you plan to have spectators around your wrestling ring, see to it that the area you choose for the ring is big enough to accommodate them comfortably.

Do not try any professional wrestling moves unless you are trained to do so as mistakes can lead to injury to yourself or another other wrestler.
