    pallets, barrels, plywood. Basically anything you can think of that will provide some cover.

    I know that here, companies that have empty drums dont mind if you take them off. Most of the time, they will just give them to you. But, you dont really have a way to haul it home. .

    Anything you can possibly use, do it.

      you could use a crap load of pallots if you can get em, or you could just use scrap wood. i have an excellent backyard field complete with little cabins that me and my brother build out of leftover from a local sawmill. Wood is cheap and sometimes free, sheets of tin also work ok but their harder to get and harder to put up.

        yea this guy knows. businesses that deal with that kind of stuff will most of the time give it away just so they dont have to take it off themselves.

          If I wanted cheap and easy and not a whole lot of garbage in my back yard I would use plastic tarp material and wooden stakes. You could always roll up everything when you're done.

                as long as the field isnt right beside your house or the road i wouldnt worry about netting. just make a place for the people to go when theyre out. at my house when someone gets shot they just go over to their car thats parked a good ways away and sit or whatever until a new one starts.

                as far as a snake goes youve got me there. only thing i can think of is putting up some plywood along the ground. it would be hard to find something round to use.

                  well as for the netting i have an idea but it isnt the best but itll work and none of us have cars and we like to watch the rest of the game but i know wut to do bout my "netting" and for the snake i have one thats like 6 ft long but that isnt long enough and its made out of thos lil cement tiles and it doesnt work to good cuz they wobble and they dont stay close good

                    Use an open area in the woods. Take some fallen down logs and pile them up for bunkers. Thats what we do at our one bandit feild. Your still in the woods but its a speedball format. And it don't cost a dime to make.

                        yup, logs and stuff will work too. as for netting, I dont know. You will probably need alot if you are making a decent field. You may only need it on one side though if you put some planning into the design. You can also use tires, although they will attract mosquitos to lay eggs. As for a snake, just use drums. Lay them down on their sides for the low spots and then stand up 2-3 for the sections, or use pallets. . It may take a lot of stuff and work, to build a really good field.
