Then cut it and mount it on evenly spaced slats on your drop on to get most use out of that square.

Op save yourself some money and only turf the take off and tranny. Then use garden lattice for the drop in. I made the mistake of turfing EVERYTHING and then I ended up just putting lattice over 60% of the turf, so I didn't even need to have over half the turf I need .

Lol to actually answer your question op, any turf will work. I went to the store and bought the cheapest I could find and it works fine.

Basically what the others said, and if you really want to know how it slides on your bases take home a couple different samples and and see which one seems to slide best. Not an extremely reliable way to test it but at least you ca get an idea

Astro turf is shit. Find someplace where construction is happening and wait till late at night. Sneak out and snag that construction fencing.

First of all that's called stealing and op is not gonna want to have fencing on the take off. Fencing will work with the drop in, but you need turf on the jump/take off otherwise you lose all control . So op again just buy a 6x12 astro turf Matt at Home Depot for 25 bucks and then use lattice for all the rest. Construction fence works, but lattice is faster and doesn't rip as easy like the fence does
