To practice precisions. They work really well, I can move them as far apart as I wish, and if the wood bars break (They were all we had at the time), my dad and I are going to replace them with metal bars. I want to be able to use them on the grass, because that's where they'll slide around the least, but I'd have to wait until it dried, or the wood/shoes will get wet, then something bad may happen...

Here's some pics. If y'all want, I can post the instructions on how to make them.

Nice idea! Perhaps you could have small stakes that come out the bottom that can dig into the grass to stop them sliding.

Nah, what happens, is you set them up in the grass, then stomp on em once or twice. The three wooden bars on the bottom dig into the grass, while the holes between them let the grass through. It makes it like a wall. The things don't move at all, and they work great.

i would actually suggest not use wood for the middle bar but maybe a metal pole just sounds better to me

The minute one of those fails, they will be replaced with wood. It was all we had at the time.
