The problem with corplast is it is too light. The wind just knocks those walls around a lot. You really need to pin them down. The green fence is the best. Wind sails right through, and they are light.

Plus the green is much cheaper than the usual $50 per roll of the orange stuff. I like the orange for walls though.
 
The only problem with using snow fence is that it allows the shooter to index on the target sooner as he can see it as he approaches the end of the wall. Corplast is the same price as plywood through.

True, but spikes are cheap. They give you a light, rigid wall that doesn't snag. We've also used heavy gauge plastic with "J's" cut into it to let the wind through. Works well too, and you can't see through it.
 
We use filter mesh walls. The price works out the same as corplast. It is relatively uneffected by wind and you can catch errant shots. Snow fence is to open a weave for my tastes.
 
We have H shaped wooden bases that can be used both to support targets and Coroplast panels. Sockets for 2x2s or 1x2s. If the wind is gusty, we throw some sandbags on the legs of the bases. We use panels in different heights, depending on the occasion. Low ones for shoot over. A series of panels can be set up side by side to make longer walls, corridors, etc.
 
Our wall bases are about 12" of 2x2 square stainless tubing with tabs on one end. The socket is lag bolted to 2x4s about 42" long with holes drilled in the 2x4 to stake them down. They're very low profile so minimal concern with a shooter running into them and tripping when they're close to the wall. They're also easy to store since they're long, but narrow.
 
Thanks for the replies :)

I am looking for the fine mesh stuff - snow fence I already know about..

I know some complain about being able to see targets thro the various screen materials but I would just use plywood or coroplast anywhere this is really critical to the stage design.

For now I need a name for this material????????????

Whatever they make the Political signs,...for sale signs out of.....etc.(that plastic stuff)....is good for walls as well. Small nails or big staples. Only problem is if it is really windy. Cheap tarp material from Princess Auto could also be used, just cut it.

Here is what I use

Flat mesh netting.

It comes on a 100ft roll.


I believe it was the 3/16 hole version. They will send you some samples of the various sizes if you ask.


Edit........I found a source in BC!!

We use the L-36 as I suspected.
 
As an additional note - we used some snow fence wall this year (nice dark brown from homely depot) and as an RO i found it gave an extra margin of safety as it was very easy to confirm everyone was uprange before giving the "load and make ready".

just my 2 cents

I like the idea of the landscape fabric and tarps for something I have been thinking of. I would like to build a 'shoot-house'. The tarps or fabric would be good 'cause you could shoot thru them without harm.

The wall material we use in PG is called "Debris Screen" you can get it from steeles industrial for about $325/roll. A roll will do about 30 -4'x8' frames. With 4- 8' 2x2's (wood) It was costing us about $16.00 per frame.

One problem with the snow fence is that a shooter can shoot through it with out you knowing, so it does not work well as a see through "barrier". The debris screen is a fine enough mesh that you can see a 9mm hole .
