How to Hang a Tennis Ball in Your Garage
Contents
Ever wondered how to keep your tennis ball from rolling around in your garage? Here’s a quick and easy guide on how to hang a tennis ball in your garage using just a few common household items!
What You Need
You need a tennis ball, a piece of string, and a nail. Make sure the string is long enough to reach the ground from the point where you will hammer the nail into the wall.
Tennis ball
You can use an old tennis ball to help you park your car in your garage. All you need is a string and a way to attach the string to the ceiling.
Tie a knot in one end of the string, then thread the other end through the hole in the tennis ball. Tie another knot in the string to secure the ball. Now you can throw the ball up to the ceiling and it will stay there, hanging down like a chandelier. You can adjust the length of the string to make it easier or harder to reach the ball.
Drill
You’ll need a drill with a 1/4″ bit to make the pilot holes for your screw eyes. A power drill will make short work of this task, but if you don’t have one, you can use a hand drill or even a screwdriver.
3-inch screw
To properly install your tennis ball holder, you will need a 3-inch screw and a drill. The first step is to find the stud in your wall. Once you have found the stud, mark the spot with a pencil. Next, take your screw and drill it into the marked spot. Be sure to drive the screw in until it is flush with the wall. Now you are ready to hang your tennis ball holder!
Screwdriver
In order to properly secure the tennis ball, you will need to use a screwdriver to create two small holes in the ball. Be sure to place the holes on opposite sides of the ball so that it will be evenly balanced once it is hung up.
Hang the Tennis Ball
You will need: a tennis ball, a string, a step ladder, and a nail. Step 1: tie the string around the tennis ball. Step 2: find a place to hang the tennis ball in your garage where it won’t be in the way. Step 3: put the step ladder under the spot where you want to hang the tennis ball. Step 4: use the nail to make a hole in the ceiling. Step 5: put the string through the hole and tie it off. Step 6: enjoy your new tennis ball!
Find the studs in your garage
One of the simplest and most popular garage organizing tips is to hang a tennis ball from the ceiling. This is a great way to store rakes, lawn chairs, and other bulky items that are difficult to find a place for. But before you can hang your tennis ball, you need to find the studs in your garage so that you can screw it into place.
There are a few different ways that you can find the studs in your garage. One way is to use a stud finder. This is a tool that you can purchase at most hardware stores. It uses magnets to detect the metal screws in the studs.
Another way to find the studs is to tap along the wall until you hear a solid sound. This means that you have found the plywood sheathing that covers the studs. You can then use a small nail or screw to mark the spot so that you know where to drill your hole for the tennis ball.
Once you have found the studs, simply screw in your eye hook and tie on your tennis ball. Now you have a nifty way to store all of those bulky items in your garage!
Mark where you will drill the hole
Before you start drilling, it’s important to mark where you will drill the hole. This will help to ensure that the hole is in the right place and is the right size.
First, use a ruler or measuring tape to measure out how far from the edge of the garage door you want to place the hole. Then, use a pencil to mark this spot on the door.
Once you have marked the spot, use a small drill bit to make a pilot hole in the door. This hole doesn’t have to be big, but it should be big enough for your bigger drill bit to fit into.
##Heading: Drill the hole
##Expansion:
Now that you have made a pilot hole, it’s time to start drilling the larger hole. To do this, insert your drill bit into the chuck of your drill and then align it with the pilot hole.
Once the drill bit is in place, squeeze the trigger and start drilling. Keep going until the drill bit breaks through the other side of the door.
Drill the hole
In order to hang the tennis ball, you will need to drill a hole into it. Use a power drill and a 3/16-inch drill bit.
Mark the center of the tennis ball with a permanent marker, then align the tip of the drill bit with the mark. Apply pressure to the drill and slowly start drilling into the ball.
Keep drilling until the hole is big enough to fit your screw through. Be careful not to drill all the way through the other side of the ball!
Screw in the 3-inch screw
1. Open the can of tennis balls.
2. Insert a 3-inch screw into the center of one of the tennis balls.
3. Hang the ball from the screw on a nail or hook in your garage.
4. Repeat this process with additional tennis balls until all of the balls are hung in your garage.
Hang the tennis ball from the screw
First, find a tennis ball and a screw that will fit snugly into the ball. The screw should be long enough to protrude from the ball by at least an inch or two. Next, use a drill to make a hole in the center of the ball, being careful not to damage the surface of the ball. Screw the screw into the hole until it is tight.
Finally, find a place to hang the tennis ball in your garage. The ideal spot is somewhere near the center of the garage, where it will be out of the way but still visible. Once you have found the perfect spot, use a hammer to drive the screw into the wall or ceiling. The tennis ball should now be securely in place!
