Okay, HDPE is an abbreviation for High Density Polyethylene. Puck board is the same as HDPE. You can find it at most home improvement stores (Home Depot, Lowe’s) or any plastics store. Some people have said that Formica laminated shelving boards work well to slide on, but I’ve never tried them myself.

As for places to buy Astroturf, it's a lot easier to buy directly from a store like Home Depot rather than a website because rolls of Astroturf are kinda heavy and shipping costs a lot. Or, do what I did: Behind most carpet installation warehouses are dumpsters full of leftover carpet scraps. Depending on where you live, carpet companies will occasionally install Astroturf putting greens/patios/decks. The second time I looked through the dumpsters at a carpet place near my house, I found about 30 sq feet of new Astroturf. Saved me 60 bucks.

Has anyone tried PVC sheets? PVC rails usually work.

just go to a hardware store and ask them if they have any type of plastic sheet, and then ask them if its durable, pretty much any plastic thats strong works
