I am trying to find a net for a 7' 8" wide cubby in my basement. Could I cut down the 4x8 easily?

I think that would depend on your skill level. The goal comes out of the bag, according to the set-up instructions, and unfolds. I have used the 3x5 goals and the instructions are the same. There is a hinge at each rear corner and one in the center. My guess that the only option you would have would be to take out the center hinge point and shorten each of the bottom back cross pieces and shorten them 2", drill them out and bolt them back in place. You would void your warranty for sure, the net would not be as tight as it should be...and I would guess that the results will not be optimal. Your choice.

You could use a cut-off tool. I have a cordless Dewalt that would works well.

Yes, I cut my net to fit a frame 5' x 5' and then used zip ties to connect it to a conduit frame.

I'm not sure you can make this a true ceiling hugger but I did cut the down rod shorter as it was going to be too low for my 8' ceilings. Just used a hack saw and drilled a new hole for the pin. It's aluminum not steel so it's easier than it sounds. I would guess you could cut in half before the wind flow started having a negative impact on it's stability.

I would say theoretically, yes, but realistically it would be very difficult to get a 7/8" bit to cut a clean hole all the way through the other side to run the wires out, especially without cracking anything. Now if you were pouring new concrete and could leave a spacer for the holes that would definitely be doable.

There is a nob that When tightened keeps the saw at what ever height you need it. If you were to loosen it you could probably do a drop cut.

You could potentially roll the extra net around the poles! I haven't done it. Otherwise this is for full size table

Yes, that was one of the main reasons I purchased this saw. I use a 8" stacked dado set with no problems in pine, poplar, and MDF.

A tad more space than Insanity due to the ladder usage. I'd say a 8'x8' should suffice. Enjoy.

A 2x6 or a 4x4. But this is really meant for detail trim work. I would use a cutoff saw with a fine blade for wood that size.

The pilot holes are set for 2x4s. I guess you could adapt a2x8 they are 7 1/2". I used cedar boards and they worked great

Our closet is 11ft by 4ft and we have the whole 11 foot side done. You do have to use a saw... BUT measure 3 times and cut once! It isn't incredibly hard, just takes a few house. And a laser level was the best tool we could have used!

I'm using (2) 1" x 8" x 8' boards also (left over from some bookshelves). There are enough fasteners for this type of arrangement to be secure. I set it up in the basement and was very thankful I did when my sump pump died.

While I hesitate to say cutting down the shelves would be "easy", it is certainly possible. The use of a table saw, or radial arm saw, would help greatly in keeping the shelf units the same length. I would suggest that if you decide to try it, that you pre-drill pilot holes in the shelf end cut off, since the wood used is dry and prone to splitting.

I do not see why not. I cut up an entire shed (approx. 8x12) with aluminum skin, steel framing, and wood floor with 4x6 inch support beams. I did not have any problems with any of it. Just take your time and do not force the blade through whatever you are cutting. Use just enough pressure to let the blade cut efficiently.

You should not have any trouble cutting 5/8 rebar. I have found better blades out then the one came with it. dewalt has good blades Allso keep saw close to power sourse.

Yes, you can do that. Basically it will cut the 5x7 in two stripes of 3.5"x 5".
