Hey, I was looking to build a summer set up, I was wondering what people have paid for average turf prices per sq ft. 

Also, any place that you have bought turf would be sick too.

last year i used indoor/outdoor carpet (thats what it said on the lable) and it came in this huge square for around 25 bucks. I had enough extra to put on the landing. it slides good it just gives you a terrible rash when you fall.

do you need to add a soap/water mix to turf or will it slide good enough on its own?

Powdered soap works the best for me with water don't hose it down down pour style just enought to see some slickness after the first couple times you will Learn the speed and dial it in as I've learned

Also with pricing I stole all my PVC I have for my rails but used scrap wood from contruction sites bit I would say you could make a decent dropin and single barrel PVC rail and have good carpet and landing for say 240 tops at lowes I say even cheaper if you can use or steal material from you dads scrap area or construction sites I hope this helps some pll

Hahaha me and my friends did the same shit. Not the entire football field for anyone who thinks that, we just took a piece off to the side that they use as a carpet to cross the track. Perfect size and 100% FREE.

Just make sure you go at night

if you drop down some of that orange mesh fencing ontop of the turf it slides good
