Build your own stoolball wicket

If you'd prefer to build your own stoolball wicket rather than buying a ready-made set, follow this simple guide.

To build one wicket similar to the one shown, you will need to cut out the following pieces:

  • A - 12" x 12" x ½" (solid wood or ½" plywood)
  • B - 53" x 2" x 2"
  • C - 24" x 2" x 2"
  • D - 18" x 2" x 2"
