if you wanted to build an outdoor chess set that was sturdy what would you use. base for each would be 100 or 150mm DWV pipe around metre high end caps for pawns but what about the other pieces? any ideas or what else to make from

Carve them out of Hebel AAC Blocks. [autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC)]
Use normal hand saws etc.

how big are the pieces to be ?
how age safe as well ? how much budget ? are they going to be moveable by lifting or on casters/rollers the board is easy enough dark and light pavers or council slabs and half painted

budget
 cheaper the betterbigger the better make an impact suitable for smart arrse kids who know the game to move I manage a camp for families schools etc, we have large verandahs and these can be painted. I am leaning to 150mm PVC pipe but how to make the top pieces has me stumped. dont want to go rigid foam carving...never works. think hebal would be too heavy.

Hebel is not heavy.
But if you want to use PVC pipe; OR from Foamboard Make your own Giant Outdoor Chess Set
