How Do You Build A Portable Pitchers Mound?
A portable pitcher’s mound is a handy piece of equipment when the weather gets nasty in spring and practice has to be moved indoors or to the nearest dry ground, which often doesn’t have a pitcher’s mound. You can build a two-piece portable pitcher’s mound from wood. Arrange three of the 6-foot 2-by-10s parallel to one another, standing on edge on top of the plank (on a 6-foot by 2-inch side), 20 inches apart. Cover the three 6-foot 2-by-10s with the 4-by-6 board, screwing the board into the beams. You will need at least eight screws for each beam. One of the beams should be along a 6-foot edge, one should be about in the middle, and one should be four inches from the other 6-foot edge. Flip the board and beams over and attach the other board to the other edges of the beams, aligned with the first board. Arrange the other beams on the ground, parallel to each other, 2 feet apart, in ascending order: first the 2-by-2, then the 2-by-4, the 2-by-6, the 2-by-8 and the 2-by-10. Lay a 6-by-1
