10m home range project.

[MrChipShoulder]

Hi,

Thought I'd start this thread on my new project, a self contained 10m home range in my garden.

Last night I bought this https://www.keter.com/en/manor-6x5dd

We are lucky enough to have an air conditioning ducting manufacture in our town, I had a quick chat with the owner and he did me a great deal. I now have 6 lengths of 900mmx450mm ready to bolt together for a 10.2m long galv steel range

I also had a bit of a shopping moment on Crapbay and bought all the parts needed to make two whizzers.

If I can work out how to post pics, I'll get some up.

Sounds like a good set up you are building, i shoot targets at 10m at home, but that is the length of my garage.

A ten metre garage! Did the last occupier have his own bus??

Sounds like you are planning to shoot down a 10 metre metal tube if I understand you correctly which seems like an interesting solution to creating a range at home

Lol, garage & workshop, are just under 10m, but if i stand over the threshold i have 10m.

I have plans to build another 36ft long by 15ft wide garage(i have the land) as i currently pay for storage of my machines, this will have a range to one side of it.

I'll up date the list as the bits come in.
I'll give an explanation of how I make the range as I go.
I'll also list where I got the parts from.

It may help others wanting to do the same thing?
