my teammates and i are planning to build a 3man field tomorrow, we are planning on making it out of wood boards. have any other ideas on what to make the bunkers out of thats cheap, also know anything good that will make the wood boards stand up.

spools, 50 gal drums, etc.

if you want a sup air field you can take old tents, pool floats, and those things you blow up and punch and they pop back up

hey, what i did was get some rebar, and stick it in the ground on both sides of the wood, and it stands up perfect! hope this helps.

MCCS here on base is trying to get me and some of the other players out here to help them with building a field. They have no clue so from the sounds of it we're going get to do pretty much what we want. What do you guys think would be better:

Airball
55 Gal Drums
Spools
Palletts
Other????

good job man, that looks tight. one question though, do you have some sort of netting to stop paint from going on or just let them go?

Airball if its getting funded, otherwise use a combination of spools and pallets.

hmm...what kind of netting? i am thinking of building one and would like to know. thanx

well we bought some really crappy plasticy net, it stops the balls when they deflect and hit it but with a direct shot the ball either breaks right through or sprays. i dont reccomend what we have.

lol. alright. i guess i may just build some sort of fence or somthing, i really cant afford a real netting system.

we didnt really need it since theres just trees and yard around the whole field, we just made that one little section for like a dead zone i guess lol.
