This is a 40 ft long backyard bowling alley. Pins automatically reset when you pull a handle. The balls return by gravity and lift to a convenient height when another handle is pulled. Built with plywood and 2x4s. The balls are 4.5 inch Bocce balls and oak pins are 10 inches .

I could listen to this all day long. They sound like wood chimes.

I play Ninepin in Germany. Here, stringed pins are normal but they are still different to this duckpin alley. Our strings don't hang down almost to the ground but are in a straight line from the pin top. If the ball (or 'sphere', how we call it) hit's the pin, the string will be released that the pin can move about 1 meter in each direction. Interesting to see such a way of stringed pins.

Awesome! Paint the balls to look like coconuts and the pins to look like bamboo for a real Gilligan's Island look!

This is really cool and the strings are pretty long too but I love how the ball return works and is this in the woods because of all the trees? But this is really inspirational and thanks for this!
