To anyone who has used AstroTurf for summer ramps, how long have you used it for (be fairly specific) and how is it holding up?

I am b uilding a summer rail setup, and I want to know if the little we have we should conserve for patching, or if it is durable enough to not worry about.

i used it and it works great and will last as long as you fold it up and put it away AFTER it dries

i'm sure 99% of this site knows that jon gets laid more than 99% of this site. --strode420

hmm the problem with that is that we will have it stuck onto our inrun ramp and the ramp for the rail.
I was more worried about the wear and tear of the skis themselves.

We don't have an icerink here either, so that doesn't help our situation.
