It sounds like your team might be looking at building a little taller, but I figured I'd share 3787's pit. It's quite easy to set up and compacts into a small trailer.
The back pegboard is now green and has hooks for commonly used tools.
The walls are wrapped black tarps with wood supports on the top and bottom to keep them from sagging and anything slipping under the wall from the other side. They adjust fairly easily to adapt to different pit sizes.
The desks at the front (we call them the reception desks) separate into the two sides, front, and three shelves each (The top one you see in the picture and two metal racks you don't see)
I'd be happy to answer any questions if you have them!
