Content: We used the leftover pressure treated beams to create the areas around the stakes. Jason cut the posts to the size we wanted with his circular saw. Step TWO – Nailing the pressure treated beams together with galvanized nails. Ryan helped nail in the 10″ galvanized nails (similiar to these, NATIONAL NAIL 54275 5-Pound 10-Inch Spike Nail ) to hold the boards in place. The boys ACTUALLY wanted to help us with this project, Woo Hoo! I don’t know about your kids but there aren’t too many outdoor DIY projects are kids want to help with! Step THREE – Adding Landscape Fabric to the bottom of the Horseshoe Pit
Once the U shaped boxes were built we stapled landscape fabric to the back of the boards to help keep the grass from growing in the boxes. We placed the horseshoe pit boxes we created about 40 feet from one another in the shade. Step FOUR – Hammering in the Stakes for the Horseshoes
We let the boys hammer in the stakes with a small sledgehammer. We found these stakes at Lowes in the concrete section.
