Equipment like this makes it really hard for me to believe that people do not have the time or money to workout at their own home. This was a very simple, very cheap, and fun crossfit equipment build. Enjoy!

How to Build a Wall Ball Step 1: Make Incision

I started with an X cut and then ended up making a square like shape where I could fit the bottle in the top.

How to Build a Wall Ball Step 2: Fill the ball with salt pellets

I know I am going to get this question. WHY SALT PELLETS? WHY NOT SAND?? Glad you asked. Why use salt pellets instead of sand:

  • Salt pellets will NOT leak if you damage your ball after repeated use, sand will.
  • Salt pellets will fully fill your basketball for better balance, sand will not
  • Salt pellets are just a little bit cheaper than sand
  • Salt pellets are easy to work with and clean up
  • Need anymore reasons…

When you make your own crossfit equipment you have to get a little creative. I used the bottle for filling 98% full. Then you have to kind of shake it around and do a few drops to get that last pound of sand in there. Still easy though. I got a little over zealous.

I left mine at around this weight because my scale kept fluctuating and I figured I’d rather be a little over than a little under, 20.0 would be optimal.
