I already put this in "Built a Jib" but didn't get any feed back. Does anyone know the price of HDPE about 12ft by 1ft and where i can buy this material.



+K for good answers

Im looking at some prices now and a 2 foot by 1 foot piece runs like 20 bucks. So if the price is the same itl be about 120 bucks

I don't know if you have made up your mind on using HDPE or not, but it's really hard to find and mad expensive. If I were you I would use composite decking and just lay two of them side by side. Good luck on whatever you do though.

Go to your local ice rink and see if they have any side wall material that they don't need. you might luck out and end up spending nothing, or they will tell you to fuck off but it's worth a shot.

works perfectly, especially if you put wax on it also

Sometimes if you're lucky you can find extra pieces of puckboard at the ice rink and if the people there are chill they'll just give you some/as much as you need depending on the people. Thats what me and my buddies did when we built a jib a couple years ago.

Good ruck

hdpe really isn't worth it for your first box. just pick up 4 small PVC pipe from a hardwear store for under 10 bucks, vs. over 100 for hdpe
