There are many different types of turf, in terms of length and what material is used for the turf at home depot. Telling me home depot isn't helping me at all.

The only green fucking outdoor carpet they have, that's what you use. It's basically a bunch of small synthetic green bristles that make up the carpet.

Really everybody just got the cheapest stuff they could find, and it works well enough. If its slow put some orange construction fencing over it

Or you could save yourself $1500 and have a lot of fun over the entire summer rather than just a week.

In other news, I have the perfect platform already built for biking, so im definitely making a turf drop in off of that.

Get a $20 10 foot long 4 foot wide roll from home depo. Find some think green fencing and then use that for the top of the drop in. You only need carpet for the last few feet to grip the rest can be something faster.

I did the first 5-6 feet with lattice and the rest with the cheap $20 carpet and bought an extra roll for a landing.

All turf is more expensive and slower too. I like construction fencing or lattice for the beginning and then turf for the tranny. Whatever the cheapest at hoe depot, money doesnt buy speed

The cheapest turf should work fine. You can always add some construction fencing on the drop for more speed

tigersjawTell me what works best
-Length
-Type
-Material


i went with the 6 by 8 artificial grass rugs, I bought three of them and they've held up for the past two years. Depending on how big your drop in is, you might want 4. I covered my drop in with like 1 and a half of the turf rugs and I use the other 1 and a half rugs for the landing
