A few months ago I made a thread about my Treehouse Backyard Set-Up, here is a pic and a link to that thread.

I have been working hard these past weeks and i have a new creation...

Its a Urban Backyard Set-Up with a Down-Flat and a Down-Flat-Down. Both can be hit from either side. I have accumulated a lot of turf, so i plan to cover the whole bottom area and most of the stairs with turf for some safety precautions. I do not have any video footage of it yet, but i just ordered a HD camera, so footy is on the way. Here are some pics to drool over. Enjoy!

Me doing work probably well over 15 hours. Total about over 20 hours, cuz i had some help from my friends. The longest part that wasnt even included in that time, which was getting 30 pallets to my house via mini-van. So worth it though.

Suggestions? Yeah I got one - SHRED THAT!!! That looks like some intense backyard setups, and you have a tramp! From the looks of it, you have a fun backyard.

yeah at lowes its 18.99 for 4'x8' and 11.99 for 2'x8'. For the skinny ones i got the 4x8 cuz its cheaper and i just cut it in half. super easy to cut, i used a jig saw and it took less than a minute, you could use a hand saw and do it in under 5. I wouldnt use a circular or skill saw, cuz it might shatter? For the other set-ups i used normal indoor outdoor green synthetic carpeting aka turf. 44 cents a ft^2, so not too different from the lattice. I tried construction fence and its not as fast as lattice.

Lattice
Pros- Requires a spray of water, so close to no mud, fast as crap
Cons- No edge control (can be fixed by using lattice to get speed then using turf on the lip for edge control)

Turf
Pros- Pretty fast, good edge contol
Cons- Requires lots of water and soap= mud and soap= death to your lawn (cannot be fixed easily)

Snow
All problems solved.

If you make a big drop in with a smooth tranny and not to big of a lip, then TURF, but like my urban drop-in its really short, so lattice with a turf lip. like i said a combo of both if need be.

That is totally epic for a backyard setup.  I would suggest more support than the wood on those flat bars, if you weigh more than 100 lbs it looks like it will break.  But super sick for sure!

Nice job.  Actually, lattice is still the way to go, even in CO.  Contrary to popular belief, we don't have snow 365 days a year and lattice slides great.  We haven't been using it for the take off because the grip isn't good.  Have you tried to 270 on yet?  Let me know how that works out, seriously.

indeed, Its not really about the setup. How many pros have ever hit your set up? That's what I was going for.


And GO BRONCOS!!!

Just realized if you look in the first picture at the really thick patch of green vegetation on the right, that is where i cleared all that crap out to build this. I should have taken a before pic, but this shows what it used to look like.
