i dont really see a problem on using the orange mesh for IDPA, you have a walk through anyways so its not like you have no idea where the targets are even if the wall was solid
Props, Target Stands, Steel and So on.... POST SOME PICTURES

You mean your RSO has never told the competitors to "Clear the area" and observe muzzle controls at all times, and those were the ONLY verbal instructions?
Guess I have more fun with competitors than you guys
"On the signal , you are to turn down range, draw and clear the area between that west wall and that east wall."
That is the walk through I like doing.

hard to know how many times to shoot each target if they dont tell you
also, that might work for a bunch of experienced guys, but it isnt going to work with any new people. they would mess up cover ect and not have a good time being get procedurals all day long

All non-reactive/steel targets must be shot at least twice.
No special rules.So give them an open area and have several different ranged groups.
We have several "experienced members" that still mess up cover and more often than not, hit the no-shoots accidentally
.
+1 - only I'll add - have a plan for disposal before you get them.
After a season, they tend to get shot up (usually by other range users) and look like crap on your range.
Well, in Bantario we would probably have to have shrouds on them. And they would have to be made of Gel-o to prevent richochets....
Since you asked for pics, here's some walls that we use. Mix of snowfence and tarp as mentioned before.
Most of the walls have a port or two built into the design. This can be covered up or left open depending on the COF. The low port on the right was not used in this stage and is usually rotated to be a higher port.

Westicle, do not underestimate the power of wind in BC.
Our club has tried many wall construction materials, some worked ok and some failed in a big way.
-snow fencing tend to get brittle fairly quickly and tends to tear easily, you might get a year or two out of it at best.
-mesh is the the best covering we have used by far.
-2"x2" frames become schrappnel in short order and just plain don't work.
-even 2x4 walls need to be heavily braced and anchored if you expect it to last.
We had good luck when we had walls that we could dissassemble and store indoors but it requires set up just prior to the match and immediate tear down.
