they should be designed as stackable / storable yet also playable.
So you want stackable, storable, flat boards (so they can be played off and don't have gaps)... aren't made of hay...
Is there a problem with the kind of advertising boards that used to line football grounds? Ie two bits of MDF with a hinge at the top and a cross peice to keep them stable?
Added bonus of being good for advertisers (cost of advertising could equal cost of building and painting one)?
If size was a prolem you could go for smaller ones (say a foot high) enough room for ads (it's not like the crowd is miles away at the top of a stand), wouldn't be too heavy... somewhere relatively local (BLB?) might let you store them there in return for a bit of advertising space?

yeah these football ones sound good. Have never really watched aforementioned sport so don't really know how they look. Pics? In any case we can store them in the brewery somewhere, certainly not at BLB (they would charge us per minute I'm sure)

like smaller versions of those in the foreground?

• #57
smaller?
-
• #58
that size is good, needs to be vertical on the court side though for proper bounce..

if they're really short, what happens if/when players run into them? have you guys had experience playing with barriers that low?

what do you mean? we're all highly skilled athletes, perfectly attune with our surroundingsā¦
oh, hang on

Ha! but to you that wall is the same height as those boards to us.
-
• #62
Was thinking smaller to make it easier to carry/store them... the ones above can be an arse to carry about...
I was thinking not much bigger than a step at downham...
Katt, I would imagine the same thing that happened to footballers that ran into those boards, you go arse over tit and find yourself on the other side... but similar things will happen with any barrier that isn't 6 foot...

Any barriers will need to be at least waist height otherwise we'll be forever hitting the ball out of the court.
