Join that and look around there. If you still don't think you can find the info or still have questions make a thread there. That said there are several tutorials, and probably a thread about just about everything.

i would strongly recommend turf for at least the take off and no that latice would probably not work. Look for a plastic one instead.

good luck

i want to use turf, but the only hardware store near me is rona and i cant find any on there, would just orange fence work, like those construction site fences?

On mine I used lattice for the parts that are on a slope for speed and the last 6ish feet I used turf.





It works really well I just need to water it a little. For me the turf helps a lot with getting control.

Btw I don't think that lattice would work well. You want it to be more plastic than anything. Something like this would work(Just to give you an idea.)


Vinyl Lattice is what you want.

Or just read through build a jib cult. Not saying it's all there but, oh wait, yeah it's all there.


Seriously

It could possibly but the kicker would be really sketchy

Does this work the same as that orange construction fencing? I have the orange stuff in my backyard set up would that Lattice work better?

You will probably get even answers even though I believe lattice is better/faster

Lattice for me is the fastest but if your setup is already fast enough I wouldn't worry about it to much.

Here is a picture of my current setup. I used Vinyl hard wood flooring instead of lattice, but ive experimented with lattice and they slide similarly. I find that the orange construction fence is by far the fastest, and that turf is very necessary for control.

Agree with Emond. Gotta use Turf instead.

it would work but probably not very well, using a very sliperry material will prevent you from having the little amount of traction you need to feel in control while jumping off

op using lattice for the entire thing (the take off too) wont work, ive tried it and its super easy to slip out and die.
btw heres my setup, and you can really learn a lot from the build a jib cult.

More info in the coming weeks but we're going to be hosting a backyard park photo contest this summer. Details aren't final yet but we're looking to give away Saga stuff and Home Depot gift card so the winner(s) can upgrade their set ups.

Lattice works up until the lip. You're gonna need carpet/turf so you can carve in or get a better edge.
