    Can this be built outside?
    Community Answer

  • Question
    If I put the tires on the plywood, and some blankets and the tarp, wouldn't it fall through the tire holes?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Use mattresses, then put a thin piece of wood over the mattresses. Layer some softer materials such as blankets. You can also box in the mattresses with wood all the way around, and just drill them together.
  • Question
    How much does it cost to build a cheap wrestling ring?
    Community Answer
    Normally, it will cost up to $300 just to produce a wrestling ring. You should definitely look into how much the mats cost, as well as the ropes. Wrestling Mart is a good store that sells all the things that you will need to build a cheap wrestling ring.
  • Question
    Will it be painful if I fall on the stage?
    Community Answer
    Yes; it will be painful for the first month or two, but you should eventually get used to it. Another good way to lessen the pain is to replace the tires with mattresses.
  • Question
    Could I eventually have just plain wood raised above the ground?
    Community Answer
    If you have a frame, preferably metal under the wood, then absolutely. The tires are there to support the wood though, so unless you have a different form of support, don't remove the tires.
  • Question
    How can I screw in the eye hook with a drill? I didn't understand the instructions.

    You can use the drill to drill a hole to screw in the eye hook.
  • Question
    How much weight can the ropes hold?
    Community Answer
    300 to 400 pounds, if you get the right kind of ropes. The stronger and tighter the ropes, the more they can hold.
  • Question
    How do the poles stay up on a wrestling ring?
    Community Answer
    They should be about 0.6 m in the ground, so they shouldn't move. If they are moving, you will have to put something around/over them to keep them in place.
  • Question
    How do I build a wrestling ring if I don't have access to a junkyard or old tires?
    Community Answer
    You don't have to use old tires for a wrestling ring, nor do you have to visit a junkyard; buying some cheap mattresses and using them works just as well as some old tires.
  • Question
    The eye hooks will hurt somebody; they shouldn't poke into the ring! Any other suggestions?
    Community Answer
    You can always add padding to cover them up.
  • Question
    Is it better to build the ring on real or fake grass?
    Community Answer
    Any will do. Just put mats on the ground so you don’t get hurt when you fall on them.
  • Question
    How do I get the materials for a cheap wrestling ring?
