Default Backyard Course Build

The missus suggested using the side of the house to build a rock crawling course, so a little play in Paint and i came up with this design.



I've done some measuring so far and i have an area 15M x 2.5M to work with, today i organised some 900mm conveyor belt from work which i just need to cut it into 4 lengths of 7.5M so its eaiser to man handle into position, then i need to get it home.

Took some photos today too,

The pile of rock i've gathered so far, still a lot more to go.



The area i've got to work with, not too much to clean up, i still have some left over patio panels, so where i've covered the section from the fence to the eve of the roof i think i may as well go all the way along, least then if it's raining it's not going to stop me from crawling

Looks like you have a good start to your planning. Are you covering all areas in red with rocks and the rest will be dirt?

Nice Grim, that will be a nice set-up for courses. Check out the Back Yard Boyz set-up in the Califorina section, Crawler 13 has built a nice crawl zone in his yard that he shares with a group of the local guys.

The red areas will be rock and the rest i'll get a couple of trailer loads of blue metal, should be a nice contrast.
Along the brick wall i'm planning a duel pass area with a high climb section and if if feel lazy i can just drive around it
