Bowling Enthusiast’s Homemade Backyard Alley Is Fun And Surprisingly Easy To Recreate

I have always wished I had the ability and ingenuity to build big things, considering that I have the space to do it in my garage and in my backyard. It seems like so much fun: it's quite something to be able to design a project, and then built it with your own two hands. There's a sense of satisfaction that comes from that, and it's one I've always dreamed of feeling.

I honestly always felt that it was too difficult, but the process is less complex than it seems, I think. As one Imgur user shows, you can make anything if you want it bad enough, and if you have enough patience.

After all, he built a bowling lane in his own backyard!

The user laid out every detail in his plans, and now he's sharing them with others so that they know that's not an impossible feat.

Now, scroll down to see the final product.

They were plans to build a bowling lane in his own backyard!

The user says that the local bowling alley closed down, so he decided to build one himself.

The bowling enthusiast used sheets of wood to build the wonderful contraption.

The pictures show how the lane begins to take shape and looks exactly like one you'd find in a real bowling alley.

And the lane itself looks to be quite long.

The pins work with a pulley reset system.
