Inflatable or built up plywood obstacles?

I think it would help us help you if you told us the "market" you are after...speedball, milsim/woodsball......that way we would better know what to think about.

We're after a woodsball/urban setting.

As many have said, hard bunkers.
I am a big fan of hyperpipe myself. Nobody i know likes it but....

I would go for a mix of bunkers. The best "urban" field I have yet played had a mix of plywood, tires and hyperpipe. It was a great field and all the different mediums made for an incredible playing time.

Maintenance on a large indoor field made for urban play would be a nightmare with inflatable bunkers. Plus it wouldn't look as urban. Plywood gets weak after continued use as a bunker if you don't keep it clean from paintball goo, but as long as you keep it washed down, it will last quite a while. Paint the floors with nonskid paint. Yes, you can't slide, but it will prevent accidental head impacts on the floor as well.

$250.000, but that inludes rent for a year. so $150.000.

I was thinking of using this stuff for the floor:

If you do a mix, you can have interchangeable layouts? I don't know if that's feasible, but it is a thought.

Yes. we were going to make it an interchangeable course. We thought that would really be the winning ticket.

i like solid bunkers.

but i'm probably too far and busy to be your customer enough to make my input matter.

Not so fast. We are going to have raffles that the winner will have an all expenses paid weekend of free play including a friend plus room and board. We hope to promote this every month. It all depends on membership.

We already have a great start on members joining our local group, but to do the "weekend warriors" raffle, we'll need members from everywhere.
