I don't know what thread category to post this under but since it's summer setup related, may as well put it here. What's better, astro turf or that orange fence stuff?

i think you get a little bit of edge control with the turf but the fence is faster. what i see some kids doing is use both. like orange fence on the drop and turf on our jump.

This might work if you have short grass, but I think you would probably just stick otherwise. I would advise getting some turf. I use two pieces of 12x5 turf, those only cost about $13 each

Ya that's what I'm thinking. I already have a lot of turf, I'm just thinking about trying the fence with it in order to go faster for the drop in. Thanks!

Lol yeah but turf (your turf at least) rips and flattens easily, so fencing + turf might work the best.

what about orange fencing/ lattice on just plywood? cuz turf is kinda pricey, im not building a drop in, im building a flat structure with a bungee and a rail or jump..

If you wanna put the money into a nice set up go with msnow and if you are doing turf definitely put the orange fencing over your drop in mine is about 5-6 feet tall and without orange fence jsut using turf i cant even get onto my rail

that might not work as well as you expect. you cant use a bungee with just one person to pull it back, hold it, and ski at the same time

idk i might be thinking too much but it just doesnt seem like it will work

To be honest the plastic stuff sucks, I had that and now have a legit dry slope, build it good and buy short turf length and grab a little water you will be much happier, worth it for 30 bills or so

The problem is my setup is far from a water source. How much water do you need? I could just make a little water collection thing. Do you need to soak it?

ASTRO TURF FOR DROP-IN



ORANGE FENCING FOR LANDING



Just used caps because this is the best way, unless you have some cash to burn, then just use msnow for the drop-in.

just turf is honestly fine if you put orange fence over it its faster. bu orange fence alone isnt the best
