I am looking to build my new budding gymnast a balance beam. Has anyone built one in the past and can pass on the instructions to me.

i know we had a beam..im pretty sure my mom or someone built it....buy some wood that is 4 inch wide (or cut something to that length)...it doesnt really matter the length, but a normal beam is 16 feet long. (make sure it is thick enough that when she jumps on it, it wont snap in half. haha. that might hurt...normal beams are 4 in.) cover it in some carpet, attach some bases...we just had more blocks (one at each end) somehow attached to the beam...make it as high as you like. mine was maybe a 8 in. off the ground? and ta-dah! youve made yourself (or your budding gymnast) a beam! haha. have fun!

I had a friend with a homemade beam that they laid across the pool. It was fun! Anyway, they used a piece of wood that was 4x4x4 and covered it with carpet. It works pretty well. I don't think it matters the size of the wood, but it should definitley be 4 in wide. The rest of the measurements don't matter.
