ABSTRACT:
A portable paintball bunker for temporary deployment atop a playing surface of a paintball game field to provide a shelter for a player from being hit by a paintball shot from a paintball marker of an opposing player. The bunker includes an open perimeter frame assembly formed of straight tubular frame members including one central upright frame member, two diagonal upper edge frame members and two lower ground-supported frame members and connecting fittings for attaching ends of the tubular frame members together to define two substantially upright planar right triangular shaped perimeter frames having a common upright central edge therebetween defined by the central upright frame member. A flexible cover is also provided including two substantially right triangular panels having a common upright margin, each panel extending over one of the perimeter frames. Edge margins of the cover have longitudinal pockets formed to receive one corresponding frame member inserted therein whereby, on deployment, the cover is held and supported with the upright margin positioned against the central upright frame member. Each of the panels is also slightly larger than each perimeter frame causing each panel to sag slightly and to be somewhat untensioned whereby risk of damage caused by propelled paintballs striking thereagainst is substantially reduced.
