Do you dream of taking your gel blaster experience to the next level – without leaving your home? Why not build your own gel blaster course in the garden? It’s fun, allows for creativity and is a great way to bring friends and family together for action-packed outdoor play. In this guide, we’ll show you how to create a temporary or permanent gel blaster course using materials you may already have at home. We’ll also give you tips on how to make it safe for everyone involved.


Planning your Gel Blaster Course

Before you start setting up, it's important to plan what you want the track to look like and where it will be. Here are some things to consider:

Choose the perfect location
Make sure the path is safe and free of dangerous obstacles such as sharp objects, slippery areas or fragile plants.
If you have a large lawn, that's the perfect place. Alternatively, you can use a courtyard or other outdoor space with enough space for participants to move around freely.

Design your course
Think about the layout – will there be hiding places, tunnels and open areas for battles?
Divide the field into zones if necessary to keep the game exciting and organized.

Safety zone
Create an area where players can rest or replenish equipment without the risk of being hit by gel balls.


Materials for your Gel Blaster Course

A gel blaster course doesn't have to be expensive or complicated. Use items and materials from your home and garden to make it both creative and sustainable. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Small obstacles/coverings
    Cardboard boxes – large cardboard boxes can be used as hiding places or walls. Paint them for a cool look.
    Wooden panels – old plywood can be erected as temporary walls or partitions.

  2. Hiding places
    Garden furniture – chairs, tables or other furniture can be used as protection. Cover them with fabric for a “camouflage” effect.
    Parasols and sails – good for creating larger structures or dividing spaces.

  3. Temporary barriers
    Bags of leaves or sand – fill old bags and use them as low barriers.
    Inflatable objects – old swimming pools or inflatable toys can act as fun and colorful obstacles.

  4. Permanent setup
    If you want a more permanent solution, you can invest in small wooden fences, pallets or build your own structures that can remain in the garden.

  5. Creative decoration
    Use paint or spray to create “team areas” or decorations that make the course extra exciting and unique.


How to Set Up the Course

Assembling the track is a fun process that the whole family can join in. Follow these steps to get started:

Step 1 – Measure up
Use a tape measure or marking spray to draw locations for obstacles, hiding places, and open areas.

Step 2 – Build obstacles
Start with larger structures like cardboard boxes or wooden boards and set them up firmly. Then place smaller obstacles around them for varied coverage.

Step 3 – Create paths and safe passages
Ensure clear routes between hiding places and a good balance between open terrain and cover.

Step 4 – Test the course
Do a test before the game to make sure the pitch is both fun and safe.


Safety tips for the Gel Blaster Track

To ensure everyone has fun and is safe, follow these tips:

  • Always wear safety glasses and appropriate clothing.

  • Provide clear instructions about rules and areas that are off-limits.

  • Keep appropriate distance during play to avoid injuries.

  • Check that all materials and structures are stable and free of sharp edges.
