Q&A for How to Make Your Own Wrestling Ring

You could, though the two rings are slightly different in dimensions and the number of ropes.

Any hardware store should have some in the outdoor or fencing section. You might want to paint them to look nicer.

Use 4x4 boards. Don't put them in the ground, put platforms on the bottom for stabilization.

$190 to $320, according to this, although you could probably manage it with $100.

No. If you were to hit it very hard it could snap, and if it's outside then the wood might deteriorate unless you put protective stain on it

There should be 12 feet between each metal post.

WWE uses rawhide rope, WCW and most Indies use steel cable with garden hose over it.

They should be nine feet long, so you can stick them into the ground and they won't seem too tall or short.

3/4" plywood is best. You could get away with 1/2", but might need additional support underneath.

It depends on the size and your abilities. It can take hours or days.

You would have to make a metal frame to put under the ring instead of tires, but that will cost you a lot more. I would recommend doing what most smaller local companies do, which is put weapons in trash cans around the ring.

Check Walmart or any mattress store for the ring pad. Eye hooks can be found at any hardware store.

Of course, but make sure your measurements are still proportional to the ones shown here.

For a 12 by 12 ring, you'd need approximately 48 feet for each rope.

It would depend on the size of your backyard and the depth of the ground. If you have a shallow depth of the dirt/soil in your backyard, it's better to build it inside of a large open space like a warehouse.

You'd need to measure the area of the ring. From there, any fabric store worker would be able to convert those inches to yards, but make sure to add extra for the turnbuckles.

Of course; if you're willing to spend the money to pay them, you're welcome to hire people to help you build your ring.

WWE uses rawhide rope, WCW and many independent rigs use steel cable with garden hose over it.

Use regular rope from the hardware store and use strong rope! Then buy colored tape and wrap it around the rope nice and tight in the desired color you want.

Use 4-inch decking screws all around the edge boards about every 6-inches. That will hold it in place.

Take 6-foot wood poles and add 6-inches onto the ring size and screw the 4 sideboards together to make a square. Then add the 4 posts to the inside and screw from the outside board into the post with decent 6-inch decking screws. And then do the rest of the set up in the same way.
