check with the local car dealers. their service department may have a bunch of junk tires out back that they have to pay to get rid of. If you talk to the service manager (and be nice about it) he'll probably let you take as many as you want. just avoid using tires that have blown out, or have cords showing. that'll get real dangerous real quick.

We've got a Home Depot, a Lowe's, and some other places around us to get wood.
Would some heavy fabric work if nailed/woodstapled between two pieces of wood? This is supposed to be temporary so that we could transport when we play.
Any ideas would help. Thanks.
EDIT: Another question, how about grass bagged into leaf bags and made to keep its shape? Would that work for bunkers? Just popped into my head one day.

I live in the middle of town and the closest field is 25 miles away so wat me and a couple of friends did was build some collapsable bunkers out of plywood and door hinges and for stand up bunkers we bought some metal shelves that are about 6 feet tall and just screwed a piece of sheet metal onto one side and we use those out of my back yard . but it was all stuff u could buy real cheap at a home depot or a local lumber and metal yard
yeah tires make good bunkers, but they also become a mosquito wildlife reserve. try getting some straw bales. if you can find old pieces of tim roof they make good bunkers also. I played in a guys backyard where he had random things stacked up and we put hem where we felt it was good and played. We had a picnick table, a cars rear window, tons of tin roof pieces, boards of various sizes and heights. and an old car sitting in the woods. We also used a brush pile for cover sometimes.
Since when was I making fun of you? You were making fun of me, saying "silly English". Personally "tires" sounds silly to me, but I didn't boother making a childish comment, did I? Grow up, and learn some respect.

I made a "poke the cat" game. PM me and I'll give you the link. I have nothing against cats btw
Corrugated drainage pipe works well. You can cut them in half or screw them together and stake them into the ground or make platforms so they stand up. My local field does this and they said it was very inexpensive.

These make great bunkers, nailed up against a tree, cheap and sturdy.
I've seen it all, I don't like pallets; but old cars, desks, drainage pipes, and playwood work well.
You Know any Good Materials for Bunkers??
