paintballisfun Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 55 gallon drums is a good idea, or find out where you can get that big black plastic tubbing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 we used everything, wood pallets, an old beat up shed, an old cast iron bath tub, the neighbors car, big plastic barrels, cats, trees, whatever you can find will work and it makes it more fun to play then just having all barrels.

wheeleymaster99 Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 yeah my dad ribilds crashed cars and he does body work so at the time we got a lot of old car hoods and doors and everything but i want to make a lot nicer and i was also thinking about useing plaets and puting a layer of black plastic in them so paint cant go through but mainly i'm looking for some plastic drums if i find any i will poast some pics of thye field when i finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignasty1 Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 we have a couple cubes put together by 4 pallets it make for a interesting bunker because the paint can do just that go threw. trust me dont cover the holes sometimes it works out and you can put ur barrel threw the slots and what where the other players are moving to it makes it reall fun. our field is pretty nice all of our wood is painted black so they dont rot out. and we made everything detachable so we can change the field around and make things real nice.

wheeleymaster99 Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 sounds sweet but does anyone have any idea how much plastic 55 gallon drums will coast i would like to try to find some old ones someone will just give me but i dont know where to find any but i know i can get pallets for free and lots of them i might just halft to end up useing those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignasty1 Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 umm i got mine from this company accros the street but if you call you local ups they will have pallets and what not you can get you could also go to a place that sells wood and thing like that and buy some wood to make bunkers there if you wanting to make you own rec paintball field. honesly if you plan on charging ppl to come in i would spend some cash and make things nice and regulation size because evetually you will make your money back.
