$80 for 3 pieces that were 5ft x 3ft. But I got them at Boeing Surplus so I don't think you'll be able to get them for that low of a price.

it looks like he is using astroturf like you and most other people with summer setups. astroturf works well form me. have you tried putting some dish cleaning soap on your asroturf. it works great.

Use outdoor carpet for the whole thing except the landing where you should use tarp. Also you try strips of plastic like 2-3" wide every foot or two down the drop-in and you'll get more speed. And put dish soap in a bucket and fill it up with water and use a brush thing that you use to wash a car and use it to put the soap/water on the setup.

Instead of using the ladder to get on the drop in put 2x4's across the back two posts I did that on mine and it works great I'll probably post pics of my setup later

I'd do that but I would want the top to actually be wider before I go and do all of that.

I'm almost done making a box. Its only 8 ft but I'm getting HDPE for the top. The plastics place I called said they could get me a 10" by 8' sheet thats 1/8" thick for $20. Now I'm worried that 1/8 is too thin. What do you think.

1/8" HDPE is really thin but I was able to countersink it to my rail barely. On my box I used 1/4" and it's so much more solid. But 1/8" is possible, just pretty sketch. Also 8' is short dude. I'd go with atleast 10' or 12'....or make 2 8' boxes like i did.s really think but I was able to countersink it to my rail. On my box I used 1/4" and it's so much more solid. But 1/8" is possible, just use coping i guess. Also 8' is short dude. I'd go with atleast 10' or 12'....or make 2 8' boxes like i did.
