Basketball Arcade
(slanted return lane, arcade-style rebounds)
10 mats snap into a tall backboard funnel that catches every shot and uses its slope to roll the ball forward. 18 more mats form a low bumper lane, guiding the ball straight back to the shooter so the next throw is ready in seconds. I slipped a few edge pieces along the long walls for extra stiffness - helpful but optional.
Pair the build with a lightweight, fold-flat hoop (mine hangs on a window latch and flips to a dartboard on the back - highly recommend) and you've got a DIY pop-a-shot that packs away in minutes.
Details:
- Estimated build time: ≈ 10-15 mins

- Puzzle Play Mats(I started with 4 packs which has been enough for all the builds shown here. Of course, more mats = more building possibilities!)
- Hanging foldable basketball hoop(Lightweight, foldable, no mounting required, also doubles as a dartboard, super fun highly recommend!)
