Create Slope of Mound

• 1). Mark one inch at the end of one of the 8-foot 2-by-10 pieces of wood.
  
  
• 2). Cut the angle down to two inches, leaving a seven-foot slope on both pieces of wood.
  
  
• 3). Repeat on the other 8-foot 2-by-10.
  
  

Build the Frame

• 1). Nail one 4-foot 2-by-10 to the rear of the two sloped pieces.
  
  
• 2). Nail the remaining 2-by-4 in between sides at the front of the mound.
  
  
• 3). This will serve as your frame.
  
  

Add platform

• 1). Cut the plywood to the size that fits the length and width of your frame.
  
  
• 2). Nail the plywood onto the frame.
  
  
• 3). Staple on or nail on outdoor carpet for turf-like feel to the pitching mound.
  
  
• 4). Cut 1 foot of 1-by-4 piece of wood and nail it at the top of platform, centered, no less than 6-to-7 inches from the back of the platform. This is your pitching rubber.
