Obstacle Course Flags
You can use wire Flag Stakes to outline an obstacle course.
Supplies
1. Flag Stakes
You can get Flag Stakes at your local hardware store. HomeDepot sells them in bulk. A package of 100 costs about $8 bucks.
2. Long-Nose Pliers to bend the wire Flag Stakes.
Determine Height
The first bend in the wire determines the height of the flag.
For a small height flag, which holds up good in the wind, I used the length of my longest finger.
For a tall flag, I used the length between my thumb and first finger.

Make the Base
Make the base by bending the remaining wire into a triangle or square.
You should experiment with different base styles. I prefer the triangle base, with flag positioned in the middle.

Setup Obstacle Course
Use your new flag cones to create a cool obstacle course or outline a playing field.
We created an obstacle course for our bikes and another one for our remote controlled truck.
