The PDF FIRST posted as a guide for teams to build this year’s field elements vaguely lists the material used on the Low Bar as “cordura fabric,” and doesn’t specify what variety. What’s everyone else using as fabric to build their own low bar?
Spare fabric from our bumpers.
You can buy the fabric here: http://www.oldtrailfabric.com/1000-denier-black-cordura-nylon-fabric.html
One yard is enough to make two elements.
We used this, way cheaper than cordura fabric and the properties are similar enough to work for a team field IMO.

I should add the 4x12 drop cloth is much more than you need. So share with your neighbor.
I purchased 1 yard of some heavy nylon fabric from our local fabric store. It only cost $4.00.
