Reply to "Building a Bullpen Mound"

Construct out of 2 X 12 X 14 on back and 2 X 12 x 16 on sides. Use a 2 X 4 X 14 in the front to tie it together. Make sure you square and level all the way around. Measure 3 1/2' off the back edge or 10'6 from the front and start your slope down to 2" on both sides. Put stakes in the ground and screw to lumber on the inside for stability. Add dirt, tamping as much as you can. You can add fill dirt on the bottom but should use mound clay once you start getting close to a finish. Place rubbers 4' apart and 3' from side boards. Run string across to make sure rubbers are level with top of boards. You should fill to the sides of your boards to form your slope. Make sure you keep covered so the dirt does not wash away
