Paintball field equipment can be purchased separately or in a package that includes everything including the enclosure. A complete indoor arena that is easy to set up and is portable is even available. Most packages are designed for open play or to be put in an existing structure.
Packages will include turf, obstacles, set-up supplies, and repair kit. For a field that will be stationary on your own property (check with local firearms regulations) discarded items, wood boxes, junk cars, and homemade wood boxes can be used for bunkers and obstacles. When designing your personal field set up, it is best to brainstorm with other paintball shooters to gather the most ideas to use for the design. Purchase paintballing field supplies, from a reputable company that has the ability to stand behind their guarantees and a warranty is suggested.
