hey everbody !!!!!!!

weve been playin backyard pb for a long time and finally decided to redo our playin field.

im asking what kind of bunkers to build out of inexpensive materials (and ones that wont compleatly trash the property)

thx

i have heard of a guy that used pool lining or pool tarp, one of the two, to actually make blow up bunkers. i would use, crates, wood, garbage cans, or anything cheap you can find at wal-mart.

wow the pool lining idea is strange.. right now were using mostly skids which are free.

tryin to get a whole lot of plywood also

i use pvc piping and make my own doritos and all sorts of other speedball bunkers, then i sew pvc tarp (like slip and slide stuff) and fit it to the shape, it works great

im definetly gona try the pvc pipe with the tarp it sounds like a great idea

yesterday we built a huge castle on the one corner of my property with alot of plywood and 4 by 4s. its pretty sweet

playwood makes good bunkers
i just find stuff in the dumpsters at construction sites, and put the stuff i find in bunker form. Or you could dig holes, and make trenches.

2 words, sand bags

also when u mow the lawn, use the bag and empty the grass into a trash bag and use those like sand bags

i like to set up a tent and pile sand bags around it

**dustyboy316** · June 21st, 11:19 AM

hahah so do you just take construction wood? :P

**Ryan_Page** · June 21st, 12:47 PM

thats what i do, and cut down any trees in the way and turn them into bunkers where i cut them down.

**dustyboy316** · June 21st, 02:22 PM

how do you end up doing that?

**backyard paintb** · June 22nd, 11:34 AM

yea well you just use whatever you can and sometimes you just happen to find some good building materials

**andy_5187** · June 30th, 04:24 PM

well i use ply wood for a few bunkers and cut angels on them so i can get use to using doritos on sup air you know for holding in your hoppers.... I also use barrels so it gives you the effect of actually playing something like a sup air bunker. heres a pic of myfield i'll only post one cause i made a thread on mine already

**aqwa12** · July 14th, 09:20 PM

just get stuff out on your property, unless you live in city and cant chop trees down....

**Kdrx1** · July 15th, 12:45 AM

get a cheap ladder and put things around it make a stand up bunker. Me and my friends put a ton thorn branches out of it all the way up and its like 3 feet wide and 7 feet tall... its a nice bunker.

**JG.** · July 15th, 09:06 AM

In my pasture I waint until a storm comes (happens often) then pick up all the 3" or larger diameter limbs and stack them ontop of each other braced by another tree works great. But using an axe to cut think green wood down to size isnt very fun. Works and looks great.

my favorite bunker types are "snake" bunkers- several sheets of plywood although one can use anything lined up in an elongated M shape it offers protection from several sides and can be useful when moving up the field- just thought id share
