DIY Affordable Frisbee Fun

Beersbee, frisknock, beer frisbee, polish horseshoes, or whatever you know it as, this game is awesome! You’ll just need a couple bottles, a frisbee, and a 2 pole set up. The game was a hit on our first weekend getaway of spring to West Michigan! Instead of beer bottles, we used a couple of whiskey bottles that worked just as well.

A few other sources inspired our build like tips from Instructables and Wikihow on how to build beersbee with PVC pipes. We wanted a lightweight, cheap, and durable option, so using PVC pipes seemed like the easiest way to go. The three parts to think about were the main poles, the H shape base, and flat top for bottle; here’s what we did: 

Supplies Just Under $20

Under $20 For All The Supplies You’ll Need 

• Two 10′ 1-inch PVC pipes as main ingredient
• One pipe was cut evenly for two 5 foot poles, the other was cut into eight 10″ and four 5″
• Six 3-sided T connectors built the foundation ‘H’
• Two flat end caps for the bottle to sit
• Two wood scraps for larger platform for the bottle

For the main poles, we cut the 10 foot piece into two 5 foot pipes that we kept as is. Then with other 10 foot pipe, cut eight 10 inch pieces and four at 5 inches. As beginner level craftsmen with power tools, this project was an easy and fun build to boost the confidence!

Don’t have the time to build your own? We have spotted them on shelves at Target and Meijer, or if you want that some instant gratification, buy it on Amazon now!

How to Play Beersbee

Place poles approximately 36 feet apart, or to whatever distance desired to make the game easier and more fun! Then just increase the distance when you’re ready to make it more difficult. Teams 2 players is typical, but play with what you got. Place the bottle centered on top of pole, and then try to hit your opponents pole or target to score points, one throw per team alternating. Each player must stay behind their pole at all times!

Scoring Frisknock

0 POINTS – Uncatchable throw. If you throw a bad frisbee toss that’s too high, low, or wild, you lose the ability to score.

1 POINT – You hit the pole!

2 POINTS – Knock off opponents bottle successfully without them catching it!

First to 15 wins, but you have to win by 2!

How to Win This Backyard Frisbee Game

• Prevent points by catching the target when it’s knocked off pole.
• Throw the disc at either the pole or target to score points.
• If opponents disc does not make it past your pole you are allowed to throw from where it landed.
• Avoid Penalties! The main penalty is stepping in front of the pole while catching or throwing and interfering with disc while it is in flight. In the event one of the mentioned happen the opposing team is allowed 1 free throw at your bottle.
