plastic lattice is super fast but you have no edge on it so you can to that first then grass

msnow if you have money, plastic lattice to generic cheap turf if you are poor. If you already have turf you can go and "find" some orange construction fence for some added speed if you can't spend more money.

Just get the cheapest fake grass you can find and get it wet or put some soap on it before you use it

Artificial outdoor grass rugs are perfect and usually cheaper than astroturf

I'm using carpet samples that I got for free from my work they do the trick

Would It be a good idea to stake in turf to the ground. I have a natural slope in my yard so I had an idea to stake the turf in. any other tips?

staking turf into the ground works really well. I covered my entire drop-in area with turf semi-permanently and it is great, except that I cut through the turf on a tree root, but my skis no longer get lots of dirt and go faster on my msnow. go to your local home depot and buy turf by the foot.
