"My Hesco Barriers" Topic

Seeing someone's take on scratch building hesco barrier's in 28's, I thought I might be able to do something on the same lines in 15's!

Using a 1/2 inch square wood dowel and some fiberglass insect screen.

And here it is!

Now I only made a couple of them for now just to see how they turn out and the results I think are great!

You can see more pictures here and the slow process of making them; link

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the tip!

Thank You
Takes a little time to make them, I like the result of how they came out and now I know that I can make as many of them as I want.

Someone else has used polystyrene cut to size for a 'speedier' approach rather than wood…….I have all the ingredients except time!

Old Glory UK makes them in resin in 15mm

Thanks,I know there are manufactures out there that make Hesco barriers, I'm just pointing out for those that would like to make there own and still have a really nice table.

If I were to just buy one of each listed above that would be 20 GBP, that's roughly around 30 US dollars give or take, not counting shipping. I figure I can make over time about 80 and still be under 5 US dollars all I need is time and if I cut a few blocks a night till I have a nice pile I can get there in no time.

Plus it wouldn't be in the line of my Blog as well to scratch build as much as I can.

But again Thank You

Using the Hesco barriers along with wire would be great TMP link

I really like the looks of the fly-wire at the bottom of the post, I really would like to know how it would like as triple strand wire!

I appreciate what you say but your £20.00 GBP gets you about 66 blocks, plus the sangar, which, if I remember correctly, is about 2" square

It is a great deal for one's money, my approach is for those of us that are on a budget like myself, I would love to be able to save time by just buying the terrain stuff I would want, but that just how life is sometimes.

The US Army Military History Institute at Carlisle Barracks, PA, has a permanent timeline display of military equipment and entrenchments. Along with civil war and WWI trenches/dugouts, there's is also amore contemporary emplacement using these 21st century sandbags.

Nice! Going to give these a try.
