No. It is just painted.

Excellent work leppard! That's impressive that you did it for $100 too.
Just think... for $1800 you could have a full 18 hole course!
The chain is the problem. Unless you are good at fabricating or have a bunch of junk laying around it's really not worth the time/money to make a home made basket.
Doesn't keep me from planning on one though.
I finally finished it yesterday. Here's a breakdown of the materials:
Bike wheel
Chain link fence post
9-gallon planter
Christmas tree stand
I-bolts
1/8" cable (and cable clamps)
2" ring
Chain
Zip strips (zip ties)
Tub drain
1 1/2" to 1 1/14" pipe adaptor
2 - 1 1/4" to 1 1/4" rubber pipe couplers (I'm going to be replacing one with a 1 1/4" to 1 1/2"
It's pretty sturdy but I also built it with portability in mind. I can disassemble it and put the chain assembly and stand into the basket itself and only have a 5' pole leftover. I'm very satisfied with it, but I'm going to make some subtle changes for the next one (if I don't buy one first).

I got it from a friend. The wheel was warped here and there. I think he said that he slammed a rock that got kicked up by a truck. I'm sure it was a less than stellar ride before it became a chain hanging masterpiece.
bikinjack said:I figured it had to be something like that. Good job on the basket. I have a question, though. Did you attach the freehub body (the ratcheting thing the gears go on) to the pole somehow, and do you have it otherwise secured so it won't spin?
what is it made of?
Here's one that we did and then made several. We now have a 18 basket course set up that is a very decent set up.
My first guess would be wood.
Reminds me of an anorexic dominatrix...oh well, I would take it, I am seriously jonesing to practice in the back yard.
