Re: Building Practice Field

You won't find everything you want to know all listed on one page as if you were sketching it out yourself. Spend a little bit of time with the blueprints and sketch it out on one paper so you have the dimensions in a shorthand that is easy for you to reference.

We're only building the overpass portion and marking the rest out on the floor. Using the blueprints for the team field drawing,
Overpass: pages 8, 9, and 11 tell you the lengths to cut the pvc to make the overpass sections. We modified it a little bit so that we used two more of #18 and did not use part #20 and #22.
Bases: pages 4 and 5 tell you the dimensions that the lumber needs to be cut for the base. We made two of these outside bases rather than following the prints for an inside base (because we were not making the lane dividers)
Ladder part of the overpass: we are only using part #23 found on page 12.

Don't glue anything until you have it all laid out.

Send me a private message if you need more details.
