You have an offseason. You have a 10' cube to work with (make sure it can shrink to 8'x8'x10' high). I highly suggest taking a fair amount of time during this "offseason" to design and build a pit layout/structure, which may involve manufacturing and/or buying elements. Maybe start by taking a walk through the "organization" section of an office supply or home improvement store.
Our old one was made out of 4" black PVC tubes which we had purchased.
