You can order snowflex from their site you have to call though and the thing is its like 10 dollars a square foot so want a hundred square feet 10 by 10 which isn't that much you are fucked.

Home Depot has some "Beaulieu Vantage Ivy Green 6 Foot Wide Turf Outdoor Carpeting" Thats is sold by the linear foot for $3.54. So You would get 1ft x 6ft for $3.54. I haven't tried it yet but I was about to get some tomorrow.

There's your first problem. Your using a rug and construction fencing. You want to use this magical material called DRYSLOPE to make a dryslope. I heard you can only get it from dick chaney
