How To Hang A Tennis Ball In Garage? You can use a small piece of wire or string to tie the ball to the door.
Look for the studs in your garage using a stud finder.
If your garage has drywall, it’s likely that the studs are what the drywall is attached to. In order to find these studs, you’ll need to use a stud finder. A stud finder is a handheld tool that uses magnets to locate metal studs behind the drywall. Once you’ve found the studs, mark their location with a pencil so that you know where to drill your holes.
Once you have found the studs, mark them with a pencil.
Find the studs in your garage using a stud finder. Once you have found the studs, mark them with a pencil. Center the tennis ball on the mark and press it into the wall so that the pencil mark is transferred to the ball. Drill a pilot hole through the center of the tennis ball using a 1/16-inch drill bit. Insert a screw into the pilot hole and screw it into the wall until it is tight against the ball.
Measure and mark the center of each stud.
To find the center of the stud, measure from the top and bottom of the stud and mark the halfway point. Use a level to draw a chalk line across all of the studs. The lines don’t have to be perfectly level, but they should be close.
Drill a pilot hole at each mark.
Drilling a hole at each mark ensures the dowel will go in straight. If you don’t have a power drill, use a hand drill or even a simple screwdriver. The goal is just to get the dowel started so you can finish driving it in by hand.
Insert the screw eye into each pilot hole.
With the pilot holes drilled, it’s time to insert the screw eyes. These will serve as the anchors to which you will tie the string that supports the tennis ball. Be sure to insert the screw eyes far enough so that they are flush with the wood surface, but not so far that they come out the other side. To avoid splitting the wood, only screw them in by hand as far as they will go easily.
Screw the eye into the stud until it is snug.
First, find a stud in your garage using a stud finder. If you don’t have a stud finder, you can also use a small magnet. Once you have found the stud, hold the tennis ball up to the location and mark it with a pencil.
Next, using a drill, make a small pilot hole at the mark on the stud. Be careful not to drill too deeply. You just want to create a small indentation for the screw to bite into.
Finally, screw the eye into the stud until it is snug. Hang your tennis ball from the eye and enjoy!
Cut a length of string or twine.
Cut a length of string or twine that is long enough to reach from the spot on the ceiling where you will be hanging the tennis ball down to the spot on the floor where you want the ball to rest when it is not in use. If you are not sure how long to make the string, err on the side of making it too long rather than too short. You can always trim off any excess later.
Tie one end of the string or twine to the tennis ball.
Tie one end of the string or twine to the tennis ball. Then open your car door all the way and tie the other end of the string to the door handle. The string should be taut when the door is closed. That’s it! Now when you park, just close your car door and your tennis ball will be there to show you where to stop.
Feed the other end of the string or twine through the eye.
Feed the other end of the string or twine through the eye. String a tennis ball onto the string, letting it rest in the palm of your hand. Place your thumb over the ball to keep it from falling off while you’re working. Lay a ruler or otherstraight edge on top of the ball, running perpendicular to the string.
Tie the end of the string or twine to the other eye.
Tie the end of the string or twine to the other eye. This will give you a long “leash” to hang the ball from. You can either tie the string around the ball, or make a small loop in the end of the string and put that over the ball. If you choose to tie the string around the ball, be sure to leave enough slack so that you can still adjust the height of the ball later on.
Hang the tennis ball from the string or twine.
Hang the tennis ball from the string or twine. Make sure that the ball is hanging at least 10 feet off the ground and that it is not touching any of the walls or objects in the garage. If you are using a string, tie a loop in the string so that it is secure around the ball. If you are using twine, wrap it around the ball several times to secure it.
