Plastic fencing, it slides fast.

If you want it better, put turf under the fencing, thats what I do.

where to get plastic fencing? How much is enough for the drop in, and the ramp? How much would it cost?

listen to my bro...
I want to add something though...

The plastic fence is really fast, faster then the turf.
The turf is slower but you have way more control on it.
I recommend that you use the fencing on the inrun, and the turf on the kicker and landing.

prices (home depot): turf, about $20 for a 10X10 piece
: plastic fencing, sorry I can't remember the price...

build a jib 101, is another possibility for sufficient amount of information on materials and prices.

Thats weird...
Try another hardware store. If you can't find any, you should check it out later in the spring.

Hahaha I stole my plastic fencing in the middle of the night at a construction site. They have plenty of it so I figured I'd have the adrenaline rush train to grab it all.

Plastic lattice fencing ; you'll slide like a mother fucker, but have no control. That being said, combine different materials.
