Once all the eyehooks are secured, use the bolt cutters to cut off some of the extra threaded part of the eyehook inside the PVC coupler.

How high should a fence post be for a basket?
Figure out how your finished basket will be mounted (see last step). If it will be in a patio umbrella stand, then cut the fence post to a height of 57-inches using your hack saw. If you will be mounting your basket in the ground, then leave the pole alone.
Step 1: Materials for Base
For the base you will need.... - About 4 ft. of 1/2" PVC pipe - (x4) End caps 1/2" PVC - (x3) Three way 1/2" PVC Splitter - (x3) Straight 1/2" PVC Connector - (x1) End Plug 1/2" PVC - (x1) Set of washer and small screw This can all be found at home depot for pretty cheap.
Step 3: Assembly
Cut your 4 foot PVC rod into two 2 foot sections. The first two foot section should be cut into 3 pieces that are shorter than the diameter of your basket. The second 2 foot section should be cut into 6 four inch pieces. I wrapped all of my PVC in shiny silver duct tape to make it feel more authentic.
Step 4: The Discs!
The discs I use for the basket are commonly used as markers for shots in real disc golf. Most companies sell their own and some of the best flyers are Innova's and Vibram's. You can grab these from your local disc golf store or find them for cheap online. Another alternative I've found are the tops of lysol cans.
Step 5: Final Words
Incase you couldn't tell, the basket becomes portable by disconnecting all the PVC and putting it inside the two halves of the fan. The chains should just fold right in.
