Anyone able to recomend where to find some? Regular old silver wireframe like the ones WWF would have used in the late 80's/early 90's.
Trying to put together a small Hasbro arena and that's the one thing I can't seem to figure out.
Have neon entrance, and got some blue vinyl from Michaels for mats for outside, but if anyone knows anything better for mats, I'd be up to upgrading that too.

There were the nXt ones which were old school guard rails which you put an nXt cover over. But if you leave the cover off they look like old wwf ones. I think wicked cool maybe made them?

Yeah, I looked em' up, Wicked Cool yup. Looks like OOP and pretty scarce, will keep an eye out though, since I'm guessing these are the best option there was. I saw some generic looking ones on ebay, but they don't look near as cool IMO. Hoping someone knows of them specifically scaled to Hasbro, surprised none of the customizers like the guy that does the cage and barber shop hasn't done something yet. |

One guy did a cage and wm style carts and those have to be harder then guard rails? |

Maybe there isn't the same demand there for guard rails? |

I did consider getting them in the past but wasn’t sure how well they would hold up. Some 3D printed stuff seems very flimsy |

A Hasbro-style barricade would be around 2.5" x 5" x 0.5", you'd need to 3D print three pieces: the girder and 2 legs/supports. |

It would have benefited from having some kind of bottom piece to keep it from falling over. The pieces are quite adjustable but would never hold up to real play. Sadly he seems to have quit making new things. He had been working on a backstage area and such. |

I had been wondering what happened to him -- I just looked up the Barbershop a few weeks ago, because I was thinking about it. After your note about the bottom piece, I'm off the fence though -- esp. at that price point

For display purposes it is great. For playing? No. It wouldn’t work. |
