I like turf better, the fence stuff always felt weird, i had my set up raised so it was a down rail and it was super fun check the video below

construction fencing is sick.. easy to find, normally free, and works great

^^^ Use turf, not carpet, but for sure don't buy online, it will cost so much to ship. Just go to Home Depot.

butteredpretzel has a summer setup with turf run in and jump, and it's a little slow, but talk to him and get his opinion
