Making my own field

[coonfizzle]

Does anyonw know where to get the pipes that they use in a hyper pipe field for speedball. My backyard as woods but we all want to make a speedball field with the hyperpipe pipes. Idk where they are found.

[iplaynaked]

They're really expensive...

My suggestion is to buy a Sup' Airball feild, they range from 2-6 thousand, which is not really that much considering the amount of fun you will have, and the conveniance of setting your own feild and playing whenever you want with your own rules. I think they sell them on Actionvillage.com so go check it out:D

check ebay for sup air feilds. or you could go with ply wood.

[coonfizzle]

No i don't mean professional ones, I just meant like plastic pipe bunkers . I was thinking at ahardware store or something. I mean they oculd be crappy as hell as long as they stand up. And it was just me and 4 or 5 kids so we don't ned that many

http://www.midwaypaintball.com/images/hyperball/Hyperball2.jpg is that the stuff your talking about?

[coonfizzle]

yes that is it

[maxxa1221]

yeah thats the same stuff were talking about. its VERY VERY expensive. its also the same stuff that the guy in the link i posted before is talking about. thats why others and i suggested buying sup air bunkers. If your going to drop the cash on the hyper tubing buy a sup air field. but like you said you just looking for something cheap and good so i would suggest these. http://www.punisherspb.com/extreme-rage-inflatafield-kit.aspx ive never used them. i havnt heard much about them, you should research them more.

[United Idiots]

also hyperball is alot harder to change field layouts with than air ball

[lawnboi]

Hyper ball is also very very expensive, our team has looked into it and it cost 2-4k for a nice hyperball field. Extreme rage is your best bet.

[rcxpaintball]

Corigated piping.

Usually around 25$ a foot for the 4ft diameter piping and raising in price by the diameter of the pipe.

Its expensive and not to mention when its in the ground its there to stay.

Best bet is to spend the 2.5-4k on a 5 man or 7 man inflatable field.

/\ This man knows :tup:

[coonfizzle]

wow! i didn't know it would cost that much. Anything else i could make a field with? not buy a field.

[coonfizzle]

By the way, none of us are hardcore speedballers. It was just an idea to fool around and have some fun on. We ewre hinking our budget would <200.

[Downfall08]

Spools and pallets.

[coonfizzle]

what is that ^

[TiPpYsGaLoRe]

what is that ^
...Spools and pallets. If you don't know what they are...:eyes:

[cookie123]

my local field has a spool field where would i get those? and coonfizzle pallats are like those things at cosco where they put all the stuff on their like little wooden platform things, i cant really explain it.

[Downfall08]

Hardware stores should have some they need to get rid of. For pallets: wal mart.

[coonfizzle]

would pallets work well for paintball. I mean would they stand the force of paintballs hitting them. Also are they cheap, b/c as i said i have a low budget. 250 or less

[coonfizzle]

well my real question here is : Has anyone made a ghetto speedball field, if so , what did you use?

[Downfall08]

Use whatever you can get your hands on. If you can't afford the extreme rage kits then anything will work. Spools, pallets, old messed up car hoods (local body shop), doors, dog houses. It will be ghetto but its better than trees.

[coonfizzle]

yeah i got the woods, but they get boring really quick

[Esp_Spyder]

I would use pallets, you can get them for free. You could hinge a couple together that way they're folding and portable. You might want to fill the gaps with something (mesh, old tarp, e.t.c).

Plywood always helps too. Maybe goto a bigger construction site and see what there throwing away. Spools again would be good and easily moved. Maybe even a couple barrels, could use tires. theres lots of possibilities.

If u can get lots of ppl it could be fun. Nothin beats speedball imo.

[coonfizzle]

does anyone have pics of their own field cause i think im gonna do it but i want to see what other people did. or pictures of a cheap field anyone couldmake?

[Sc0tTy]

stack up piles of trees?

I just used old nasty plywood and some other junk that people threw away from Ivan and Katrina. I never finished it though. I looked over every piece of wood and pulled out every nail and piece of metal I could find. I dug a each hole about 12"-20" down, nailed the old plywood to equally old 2x4s, and planted the remaining 12"-20" of the 2x4 in the ground. I have this one bunker I call "The Breather". It's basically a piece of screen (like from a screen door) where you can get a "breather". You can see everyone and everyone can see you, but it deflects any paintballs that come your way. And yes...that large white cyclinder in the middle is an electric water heater.

RULE OF THUMB: IF YOU CAN HIDE BEHIND IT, YOU CAN USE IT.

Dazda, that looks pretty cool. I had in mine something a little different but that is cool. I wanted to buy something for the shapes of real bunkers. I was thinking of going to Homedepot and just buying things that could act as a snake or dorito or anything a real field would have. But that does look cool.

what is that ^

BAM clarified

Also u can use the inflatable yard decorations people put out around Halloween and Christmas time. First time I did it, it was priceless

Get a few boards and a pile of 2x4's from a local contractor that has excess from a job and doesn't want it. My buddy in Wisconsin got about 30 10ft 2x4s from a contractor and all he had to do was get them out as quickly and conveniently as possible for the contractor. We now share a kick... wood field used for speedball. We treated the wood with some cheapy sealant and we can clean them with the hose. Total project cost.. about $80 (including gas/fees for the truck that we rented to move the wood).

EDIT: If you want a REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY cheap field, get a bunch of big cardboard boxes from your local wal-mart and spike them into the ground. Life expectancy: 1 shot per box, 2 if your extremely lucky.
