Ideas For Cheap Homemade Paintball Bunkers

In response to an entry I wrote on pbjunkie.com, a fellow user listed some helpful tips on material ideas for homemade paintball bunkers. I wrote a post about using pallets as bunkers, but below you can find a couple more good ideas.

Check these out.

Old garage doors. Most door companies have no idea where to toss the old doors they get. I found a company that gave us, and delivered about 70! We built an entire maze out of them!

We also contacted a local cannery that pickled peppers. They cant use any damaged plastic drums and actually pay people to take them. We banded and fastened them together... BAM instant speedball course for free!

Get with your local beverage distributor to see if they have any plastic pallets they want to toss. Never rot and can be screwed together.

Also, if you're near an import area, contact the local pier or harbor master to remove old stevedoring pallets. They're huge (metal or plastic) solid pallets.

Telephone, cable and private contractors gave us spools that we used for obstacles and we also used them as tables in the staging area.

Lastly, big-box home improvement stores were more than willing to give us their off-sized cuts left over from customers.

So as you can see there are plenty of other alternatives for paintball bunkers besides wooden pallets. These alternatives consist of spools, plastic drums, and garage doors. If you know who to ask you can even find them for free, which means you get to build yourself a free paintball field.
