Creating an Outdoor Paint Ball Field For Fun
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Alice_Lane]Alice Lane
Creating a paint ball field could be an incredible adventure. There is practically no limit on how creative you could be. Think of every war movie you ever saw. There are burned out buildings, houses with no windows, walls, bomb craters, and much more. Your imagination is your only limit. Of course money may also be a factor but that will just take the fun out of planning for your greatest paint ball field.
One thing to look at is using things that are easy to get. One of those may be using something as simple as concrete highway barriers for walls for cover. They are relatively easy to move around when you want to create a different area. They can never be damaged and a little paint only adds to their character. You can make rows of them of any length or keep them as individual hiding places.
Other possible precast pieces could be to make a house like structure out of a precast concrete utility vault. You may be able to find used ones that can be used as structures in which to hide. They too can be moved around and are virtually indestructible. You can paint them or let them get covered with the paint as it hits from missed shots. You don't have to worry about windows or wood deterioration. They won't deteriorate in the sun, rain, or any other weather. Combining these structures with other concrete structures or building other structures out of concrete around them could make for a very interesting paintball field.
If you can't create craters that are safe, the use of a precast box culvert or several of them may be a viable alternative. You could bury these concrete culverts and have safe holes in which to hide. This would be far safer than open craters with no support on the walls.
Other additions may be to use hay bales, wooden walls, cars, sheds, and a variety of new inflatable additions. These are the ones used in competition fields. They are the ultimate in ease of movement and can be taken with you if you really needed to. The inflatable types are fun and easy to use but not a realistic set like that you could create for fun. Now this wouldn't be used for tournaments like the new flat artificial turf fields that have particular layouts for tournaments but the one you create would be a fun and interesting neighborhood type of field. It would be more like a real military experience than a game around blow-up obstacles. You might be a big hit in the world of paint ballers.
