Get some large-diameter culvert. The culverts we built our course with are about 2 feet in diameter, give or take. ------------- Zerglet. |

I'm not a fan of bunkers. I'm kind of slow, so when I get in them
I lose mobility entirely and usually end up getting eliminated in place. However, I will offer the following bunker-related advice:

A fairly loose sheet placed at an angle. If you set it up just right you can probably get the sheet to catch the paintballs. Some of them may be reusable if they don't get deformed from hitting the sheet. And I've always wanted to see this... Every time someone asks how to make bunkers I suggest this... A trampoline... Or anything thats really bouncy like that. I don't think the paintballs would actually bounce off, or at least not with great force, but I just want to see it. Its just unique. |

Throw some logs on top of each other. Use plywood (even though you don't want to) it works as good as expensive stuff.

Gona agree with most of the posts here.As a member of a team that plays almost exclusivley woodsball, the best way to create a bunker is a little bit of hard work and a lot of tree choping. Of course, we have about 300 yards of personal woods to mess around with. ------------- Offical Goat defender of YB |

| Sneaky snipers idea is by far the best. You should deffinatly try it. Just don't forget to get some doggy masks. Preferably with thermal lenses, dogs tend to pant a lot. |

Out behind my friends house there is a kind-of jumk yard and we found some stuff to use for cover there, I hid in the roof of a truck bed & opened the window to shoot out of. My friend found the plastic cover or body of a ski-doo & shout out of the vent slits. If there is some jumk try & use it. |

I think it would be cool to have portable bunkers for senario games. It would be something that could fold into a backpack or something andthen deployed by a small group for an instant firebase. Having the portability is nice because you can create your own strategic defensive positions where you need them to be. ------------- Missing: 2nd star and 960+ posts to my name. -Another victim of the system. |

| Seriously though, you can get crappy hay bales pretty cheap. They're stackable and should last at least one season. Otherwise get out the axe, a saw and some heavy clippers and start making brush bunkers. If this is in your back yard, I'd suggest something you can easily move, so the hay would work alright. Failing that go to home depot and look into pre-fab fenceing. |

ok, in the woods where I normally play(My home field :P) there is an abadoned house/building that was used by miners, theres also collapsed mineshafts which work great(Just dont fall in the deep ones) and theres also small 4ft pits created by misfires years ago from our local arsenal (Anyone ever herd of the Picatinny Arsenal in the Rockaway/Wharton/Dover/Denville area in New Jersey?) -------------

LoL. We could call it.. the... "patom bomb." Just make sure it doesn't fall faster then 300 fps. Parachutes may need to be used, depending on weight. Back to bunker ideas.. You know that stuff that stops paintballs? Yeah, all that stuff. You could build bunkers out of that.. Just an idea.. |

Ply wood, pallets, plastic playhouses, 55 gallon drums, old tarps,
stacks of tires, stone walls, knocked over tables, old doors, old above
ground pool liners, trenches, old cars, basicaly any old furniture all
make good bunkers.

folding tables on there sides are good. If you can find that really big piping used for underground waterlines, then you could stack and bolt it together into can style bunkers. old bookshelves frames with bedsheets the possibilties are endless (almost) i look at it the same way i look at the following Chuck Norris joke: In the average living room there are 20, 785 objects Chuck Norris could use to kill you.
