To make your own professional-style wrestling ring, you’ll need wooden posts and planks, tires, plywood, mattress padding, turnbuckles, rope, and tarp. First, you’ll need to mark out a square for your wrestling ring, dig holes at each corner, and hammer the wooden posts into the ground to support the ring. After that, screw the horizontal wooden planks to the bottom of the posts to form a frame. Line the bottom with the tires or old mattresses. Then, layer the plywood, mattress padding, and tarp on top. Once you’ve built the platform, attach the turnbuckles to the posts and fasten the padded ropes to them. If you can't find turnbuckle padding, use pillows or pieces of mattress pad and tape them over the turnbuckles. For more tips, including how to make your own turnbuckle pads, read on!
