[frank_mckenzie]

what do i need to start my own field. what im looking for are dimensions, stuff needed and how i do it. got a rough idea.
the field is 38m wide by 46m long the same as a millennium - series field (i think)
need 200m of 3m high netting
dont know what wooden posts to use and if they are the best.
putting this on an army camp on an old aifield so will be very windy some times need strong posts.
any help much apprecciated.

Have you got 15K?

and if you have do you know that you will get players down to make it back?

Can you handle not making it back and just doing it for the love of the game?

Just a few things to think about first mate before you start out.

Not trying to put you off though.

Call someone like bt for the telegraph poles they normaly want to get rid of wasted ones.
Netting its like fish netting i think.
Land get in touch with the local council.

Price up the following:

Netting (5m, not 3m)
Boom Lift or Similar to Fix Netting
Playing Field(s)
Staging
Chrono Area
Toilets
Car Parking

Blowers (don't buy cheap ones - STIHL blowers are best and about £200 a pop)
Chronos

When you have a total, add a few thousand on for a contingency - you will most likely need it.
