Wooden Obstacles Wobble On Natural Terrain

[zoster]

Hi,

i have a few home-made obstacles on my countryside residence, and on the earth and grass terrain it's really hard to find stable positions for them (even with wood boards used as spacers).

any idea how i could make them more stable (considering i tend to move them in different configurations, so they don't have fixed positions)?

thanks!

If you put bricks under the corners that can help since it eliminates a lot of the problems you get putting flat bottomed obstacles on ground with a curve to it. Love the ghost bike in the first picture ...

try dig them into the the ground abit, like 5 inchs deep or something should do the trick.

Get the box thing, turn it upside down and put some legs on the bottom fat to the ground, like some strips of thin wood, so you can still ride over them but they stop the box from tipping.

Get some long bits of wood they must be thick,hammer them into the ground at evey corner of the object.

Then nail/screw the wood to the sides

Try and find some heavy duty garden pegs with a decent hooked head (like tent pegs but made of something a lot sturdier). We use them to anchor down the MAD rig obstacles and they work beautiful.

*its good to have some wobble improves your balance*

i'll try this. i was actually thinking of tent hooks, but thought they were too flimsy. didn;t know about the garden hooks..

the other suggestions don't really work, since the position of the obstacles changes, plus i can't have stuff sticking out of the ground when i am not using this obstacles, so that my family has something to stumble upon, and also 2 of these obstacles can be ridden on more then 1 face.

thanks for the replies!

a section of small metal pipe inside each corner to stick into ground may help. Attach it to the obstacle, and just drop it where you want it.

Get your garden paved.
