The Pit
The horseshoe pit itself should be no larger than 36 by 72 inches and the rules allow for a minimum size of 31 by 43 inches.
The Stake
The horseshoe stake should extend upward 14 to 15 inches with a slight (3') tilt forward.
The Pitching Platform
Horseshoe regulations call for the platform to extend 18 to 20.5 inches in width.
The Extended Pitching Platform
An extended pitching platform may be added extending the platform by 10 additional feet in front of the pit. This extended platform can be used by younger players.
The Backboard/Backstop
Extending 12 inches beyond the Pitchers Box a Backboard or Backstop may be installed to stop wayward horseshoes and pit material.
