Octagon....
Hey idk if this is the right section or not, but ill post it here anyway. I recently just made about 500 dollars (from doing an easy job, winning a lot at OTB, allowance, and selling my xbox. So i was thinking, wouldn't it be so cool to have a mini octagon in my basement? Because right now my basement is nothing but empty space. I was wondering how much it would cost to make a mini octagon and where i could get the supplies. (i would probably make it myself to save money, i would use like a big matt, and some sort of fence thingy.) Anyone know how or when or where i could accomplish stuff? Keep in mind i want enough left over to buy a set of sparring gear (about 40-50 each) for me and my brother so we can use it in said octagon. Also, a kicking shield wouldn't hurt either. (can get for maybe 30.) Someone tell me how to accomplish this! Maybe it could be like a project or something??!
You could use one or more of those portable dog kennels (chain-link fencing) for the sides. But I think it's going to be hard to build a remotely nice octagon with a budget of only $500.

You should check out a local boxing club.. ask to look at their ring!! (make sure to look under the ring, etc!) I wouldn't go with an octagon, but with a boxing ring and if you like, you could add the caged sides. JMO!

Im gonna try the dog kennel chain with 3 excesize (heavily padded) matts which run at 30 dollars each so thats 90, plus the sparring gear which will cost me about 50. Idk about the dog kennel.
