The first thing to take shape at the paintball center at Bukit Kiara Equestrian & Country Resort is of course the paintball field itself. With a field that is bigger than a standard size football field, there was more than enough space for two separate paintball fields. For each of the fields, they have decided to go with measurements 130feet by 230feet. That’s bigger than the standard paintball field. First things first, the fields have to be leveled. Not much of a problem since the overall area used to be a football field. Generally, it’s already quite level and definitely great for sliding!
Next came the poles for the nettings. The nettings are necessary to protect spectators and bystanders from straying bullets (pallets) of course. Also, looking from a bird’s eye view, the net gave the players an inside ‘contained’ area feeling…you can run but you can’t hide! The poles to hold the nets (huge GI pipes) are planted 3 feet in solid concrete. Above ground, it stands 23feet tall. That is more than enough for its purpose. Below are some pictures of work in progress erecting the net poles on the fields.

It took our construction team almost 2 weeks just to get the poles up. Once the concrete has set in, it will then be net patching and getting them hoisted up to the poles. The netting for the field are designed in a way that they can be lowered for maintenance or upgrading work in the future.
Soon to take shape are the nets.
