Back in October a LHS owner mentioned that he had a crawler course for sale. What he had was 4-4x8 bedliner coated styrofoam sheets propped against a 4x4 table. The price was right, it was portable and ready made.

Shortly after the initial setup we started making mods. We chunked the wobbly pvc pipe table that had a small winch for raising and lower the entire contraption. It was doomed from day 1. Then we hung 3 of the sides.
When we started this project the plan was to setup a small practice spot for more son and I to get in a little drive time without driving anywhere, so it was well worth the $$.
Like any good project though this thng has taken on a life of its own, The Crawliseum.

Nice work. looks like a lot of fun! Are the 4'x8' pieces all foam?

Thanks. Building it is alot more fun than I would've thought. The 4x8 pcs are styrofoam that have been covered with bedliner spray, very tough but kinda slick.


This thing is wicked cool!!!! Nice job!!! Wish I could crawl on that!!!

Thanks. You're welcome to come try it out!

That's a nasty drop :mrgreen:

Yea I recommend a spotter for the swinging bridge.:ror:


The stick bridge was added pretty early.

Forum member Simoniz on his 1st run toward the bridge.

Wasn't long before the bedliner thrill was gone and a vacant corner was taunting me. How about a big fake rock,how hard could it be?

Looks good Mike. New additions are looking good as well. Heard you got alot more rock added as well.

Thank you, quite a few changes since you were here last. I think we addded about 7000 of large rock too, for a total of 30,000 lbs of stone. Hope to see you back here soon.

Luckily I live in a commercial area with no neighbors. The building that the course is in is a maintenance shed for a long gone cotton mill.


cool i like the rope bridge "thumbsup"

It was one of the easiest parts to build with help from a couple of Buds.
