Ring Instructions:
Step 1 (ring posts) - The first thing you have to do is mix the cement. Poor 1/4 of the dry cement into one of the 4 buckets(see the cement bag and figure out the correct amount of water to add). Then start mixing a little and put in one of the poles in the middle of the bucket. Try to make it as straight as you can. It's better to have at least 2 people doing this so one can hold the pole straight and the other can keep mixing the cement around it. After about 5 minutes the pole should be able to stand on its own and then you can repeat the process with the other 3 buckets and poles. The purpose of this is so when you build your ring you can dig a hole about a foot deep in the ground and put the cemented pole/bucket into the ground and it will be extremely sturdy. The only thing you have to be careful about is making your hole too wide. If the hole is way too wide for the bucket then all the
support is gone and the bucket will be easily moved. When placing the holes you should lay all your matresses on the ground in the place or position you want them to be and spray paint or dig marks on the four corners of the connected matresses, then move them and dig the holes there.
Step 3(turnbuckles) - The only thing we didn't think of is turnbuckles. There are certain screws and bolts that you can use to to drill into the poles and pull the ropes through and those would make perfect turnbuckles but then you gotta figure out what you're gonna do for turnbuckle pads.
Step 4(ring padding) - Like most other backyard feds we use mattresses as padding but you could also use olympic mats to make it look not so sloppy or, if you don't even care, nothing at all. We got lucky a few times because all we did was look around the streets of Monrovia and hope that there were some decent unwanted matresses. And we got extremely lucky when we found a queen and two twins in good shape across the street from one of our wrestlers. Then another queen just down the street from that one (Those matresses made our third ring which was 13x9 ft.) Recently we got two more queens and that's what we're using for our current ring(14x12ft). To make it not look stupid we use a blue tarp which covers the whole ring and more so we just tuck the sides underneath.
P.S.- All of the stuff listed above you can get at Home Depot for good prices, and they also have plenty of other things that you can use as weapons for your fed, too.
