I'm ready for spring, people. Bring it on! And with it, let's have some outdoor fun, especially if it involves bowling. Check out this tutorial on how to build your own outdoor bowling alley.
The design for this alley makes it viable for a backyard, since it's easily put together and taken apart for storage. No need to turn your entire yard into the local bowling alley! The tutorial for this project is quite thorough — it's in French, but with a little Google translate and the excellent drawings that accompany the instructions, you should be fine.

Yay! How fun. At our old house there was a little bowling alley in the basement that had been installed by previous owners, and I loved it. I miss it now that we've moved.

Cute idea!
If I was going to the effort I'd prefer to put in a bocce court. I'm (probably unfairly) having a visceral reaction against the thought of a bowling alley in my backyard.
Love it!
