PIPE CUT LENGTHS:  (FOR A PAIR OF RUNGO LADDERS)

 

QTY    CUT LENGTH           COMMENTS

12        12 INCHES                 FOR THE VERTICAL SECTIONS

14        24 INCHES                 FOR THE RUNGS AND HORIZONTAL LEGS

NOTE: THIS WILL COMPLETELY CONSUME ALL THE 10 FT PIPE STICKS

 

LADDER ASSEMBLY FOR TEAR DOWN:

FOR TEAR-DOWN PORTABILITY ONLY GLUE THE 1 FT VERTICAL SECTIONS TO THE TOP EL & MIDDLE TEES.  DO NOT GLUE THE BOTTOM VERTICAL 1 FT SECTION TO THE BOTTOM TEE.

GLUE THE HORIZONTAL 2 FT SECTIONS TO THE BOTTOM TEES AND THE CAPS TO THOSE SECTIONS.  DO NOT GLUE THE 2 FT RUNGS.  THE WHOLE THIING CAN BE STORED & TRANSPORTED IN A CHAIR BAG.

 

LADDER ASSEMBLY FOR NO TEAR DOWN:

GLUE EVERYTHING TOGETHER MAKING SURE TO CENTER THE VERTICALS WITH RUNGS OVER THE HORIZONTAL LEGS SO THAT THE HORIZONTAL LEGS ARE PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER.

 

DRILL A 3/8” HOLE 2 INCHES IN FROM EACH END OF HORIZONTAL LEGS PERPENDICULAR TO THE GROUND FOR INSERTING TENT PEGS.  THIS IS TO SECURE THE RUNGO LADDERS TO THE GROUND.

 

RUNGO RUNG COLORS:

OURS ARE:  TOP RUNG:  RED; MIDDLE RUNG: GREEN; BOTTOM RUNG: BLUE

POINT VALUE LABELS:  TOP; 2 PTS;  MIDDLE  3 PTS;  BOTTOM 1 PT.

 

BALL AND ROPE ASSEMBLY

SECURE GOLF BALL IN VISE AND DRILL A 3/8” HOLE THROUGH CENTER OF EACH OF THE 12 GOLF BALLS.  BE SURE THE HOLES ARE COMPLETELY OPEN AS YOU HAVE TO GET THE 3/8” ROPE THROUGH EACH HOLE.  SUGGEST YOU COUNTERSINK EACH END OF HOLE USING A ½” DRILL BIT OR LARGE COUNTERSINK BIT.  A UTILITY KNIFE WILL ALSO WORK.

 

USING A PROPANE TORCH OR OTHER FLAME, MELT ONE END OF ROPE AND MAKE IT POINTED… DO NOT CUT IT YET.

INSERT THE POINTED END OF ROPE INTO GOLF BALL HOLE AND ROTATE IT IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ROPE TWIST WHILE PUSHING IT IN THE HOLE.  USE PLYERS TO GRASP THE ROPE AS IT PEEKS OUT THE OTHER END.  (THIS IS THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF THE WHOLE THING)

 

TIE KNOT IN ROPE END THAT JUST CAME THROUGH THE BALL.  HEAT IT TO KEEP IT FROM UNTIEING… PULL THE GOLF BALL HARD AGAINST THE KNOT

.

REPEAT PROCESS THIS TIME GETTING THE OTHER END OF THE 6 FT OF ROPE THROUGH ANOTHER GOLF BALL

.

THE GOLF BALLS MUST END UP EXACTLY 15 INCHES APART ON THE ROPE.  DO NOT CUT THE ROPE UNTIL YOU HAVE MADE THE OTHER END KNOT AND REPEATEDLY STRETCHED THE GOLF BALLS OUTWARDS INTO THEIR KNOTS AND THE RESULTING ROPE LENGTH BETWEEN THE GOLF BALLS IS 15 INCHES (TO THE INSIDE EDGE OF EACH BALL).

 

ONCE YOU HAVE TIGHTENED BOTH KNOTS BY STRETCHING AND THE LENGTH IS CORRECT THEN YOU CAN CUT THE ROPE AND DO THIS AGAIN 5 MORE TIMES. 

YOU NEED 3 SETS OF ONE COLOR AND 3 SETS OF ANOTHER COLOR.    

 

IF YOU WANT AND EXTRA ROPE SET THIS IS THE TIME TO DO IT (FOR WHEN THEY GET LOST OR STUCK UP IN A TREE)

 

MEASURE:  MAKE A MEASURE BY USING HEAVY TWINE WITH HOOK ON EACH END 30 FT LONG (INCLUDING HOOKS)   AFTER ASSEMBLING EACH LADDER ATTACH HOOK ON BOTTOM RUNG OF EACH LADDER AND STRETCH OUT FOR THE 30 FT DISTANCE.  ROLL UP ON AN OLD FISHING LINE SPOOL OR OTHER SUCH THING.  (REMOVE MEASURE BEFORE PLAYING)

 

HAPPY RUNGO’ING
