Homemade Paintball Field

Paintball is a recreational and competitive activity based on teamwork and strategy. The players compete against opponents and eliminate them by hitting them with paintballs from a paintball gun. The type of paintball course also plays a large part in having a functional paintball game, as it can affect the tactics used by the players. A paintball field without any places for players to find cover can make the game too easy, while one that has too many hiding spots can drag the game out too long.

Things You'll Need

Wooden pallets
Tires

Instructions

- 1
  Determine the type and size of the paintball field desired. It could be an indoor field or an outdoor field. Though indoor fields are convenient because they offer protection from stormy weather, outdoor fields are not as limited in size.
- 2
  Find an indoor spot or outdoor piece of land large enough for the size of the paintball field desired. You can build your paintball field in the woods, as this allows the paintball players many areas to find cover behind trees and large boulders.
- 3
  Place wooden pallets in different areas around the paintball field. These can be used as bunkers for the players to hide behind. Use tree branches and brush to camouflage the pallets so they are not as distinguishable.
- 4
  Place car or truck tires around the field. Stack the tires in different areas to allow the players to find cover behind or inside the stack of tires.
