Yes I sopose, and with the current chassis I think I could fit a larger drum, which is better weighted with a larger diameter, so if this weight class kicks off, I will make a better one, which is weighted further out, with the teeth heavier, but I sopose thats just future upgrades.

Just as a btw, I have 12no. 1m x 1m sheets of 10mm polycarb sat in the shed which i picked up from Jonno a while back with the intention of putting something together. It's a bit scratched but better than not having it.

If anyone who's likely to build an arena would like to pick it up then they would be welcome to it.

The arena Kenny and Tom were making was 2m^2 if I remember rightly. If the walls were 1m high, then each side would need two sheets of 1m x 1m polycarb. Four sides = 8 sheets, plus 4 to cover the roof = 12 sheets.

Hope Kenny and/or Tom sees this

the 10mm polycarb should finish the arena nicely

Yep, twelve sheets needed, that's why I got twelve sheets of it

I suspect that the fact that some of it's scratched to such a bad degree means it doesn't meet Kenny's standards (at least it didn't when I spoke to him over a year ago

).
