I made mine out of 2X4s, but you could use PVC pipe as well. Basically, it's two inverted Ts with crossbars connecting them at top and bottom.
I was thinking of making like a hammock with some sort of netting. Do you guys think something like this would melt or burn from hot brass?

Thanks! I was looking at the net because its cheap and wouldn't hold water or stay wet like a towel or sheets and would be pretty maneuverable. I was also looking at the minnow umbrella nets and rigging one of them up to catch it.Polyester has a melt temperature above 400°F. Along with the speed at which brass cools down, I think you'll be fine.
Thanks i will look into this. Our range is so muddy anything on the ground gets nasty so its gotta be off the ground.Harbor Freight has mesh tarps that have worked well for me. I just lay it on the ground. because it is mesh, it doesn't blow around like a blue poly tarp would. I am thinking about sewing some pockets to fir over firring strips to make a vertical one, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
You need to stop feeding that boy so much. He’s pretty big for a 12 year old.View attachment 782825
Just behind my son is a brass catcher someone built for the range; it's a wood frame with screendoor netting over it; the front part isn't tacked down at the bottom, brass flies in, it doesn't fly out. I had to pick up my brass, as there is only one-I think the guy that built it was going to build more, he mentioned it at the annual meeting.
