I think the other hurdle to overcome would be barriers. Making them ourselves from wood (even 30cm high sides/3ft high backs) would cost a fair bit and probably take a day's labour. It would totally be worth it thought, and with an indoor court to call our own, it would open up the potential for paid-for tournaments (teams are generally happy with £10-20 registration fees, which could offset the cost) and sponsorship is also an option.
Hiring barriers would probably cost a lot more, if it was to be a regular-game venue.
I guess first step is to find a venue (South Birmingham - Highgate, Digbeth, Balsall Heath, Moseley, Kings Heath, Hall Green seem the most accessible areas). I've had a bit of a nose around, but gave up due to the expected insurance/barriers problem. Lucas' idea may make these summourntable though.
