    Need some help or recommendations on an easy stand to construct to make sheets of plywood stand up to construct temporary rooms and hallways. These are for our training dept in live fire scenarios. We will be setting these up and taking them down daily so simplicity helps lots. Thx ya'll for any recommendations. Pics of the base would be helpful also so we can replicate.

    Try this old tried and true method. Obviously this is a concrete backing, but the simplicity in the 2x4's staked at the ground is pretty hard to beat.

    Sims mostly, but we will be doing live fire as well. The live fire scenarios are conducted where the targets are against the berm, therefore we aren't shooting the wood. We have a 360 degree range thankfully.

    Try something like this:

    You will need to move the brace on the inside corners towards the center to clear brace for other wall. Should only amount to extra holes for the carriage bolts. Instead of a wing nut you could use a hex nut and a cordless drill with socket. Lower the carriage bolt or extend 2x4 over shown brace so the drill can reach it.
    For lighter and quicker set up look at making a PVC pipe frame and use black visqueen or old bill board vinyl. I made paintball bunkers out of pvc & vinyl that worked great.

    The above drawing would work well, you may be able to add some cheap hinges and have folding walls for easy storage.
