Default Building an Indoor course

I went to RCX this year and saw the cool crawler area that some of you guys set up. I'd like to build something like that. How do you go about making a course? What kind of materials do you use?

i would use more natural materials.. like wooden tree trunks (cut up of course but not shaped into nice shapes) real stones and stuff... You can clean them and then mount them up.It would be much more fun. You could make a wooden structure underneath to support the rocks and stuf.

Here is my fake rock thread. It's actually what I use to test most trucks on. I use it more than my big outdoor rock garden.
homemade rock

Thanks for the great link Cole! That should put me on the right track. I'm going to try to build it in sections. I'm hoping to do a Hot tub too.
