1. Do i need to put on metal pipe/angle iron on the edges of the top part or can i just leave it as just the slippry material??
2. Can i use plexy-glass as the top material and if not...what should i use and were can i get it?
3.What is the best material to use as a in-run/out-run?
(thinking of astro-turf and aplying soapy water...)

And yes i looked at all the other threads that talk about these boxes and they do not seem to answer my questions...

1. you can put the coping on if you want to but you dont need to
2. just go to home depot or any other hard ware store and buy a cheap plastic top picnic table and cut it to shape or if money is no option the keystone park manager says that they use ultra-high molecular weight polyethene and you can get it from plastic suppliers around the country
3. me and my friends are gonna just use astro turf but you if you got dollaz and you wanna go all out in reliable racing www.reliableracing.com/ they sell ski carpet and little plastic tiles that are made to ski on like for olympic training in the summer but they are really expensive likw $900 for 300 square feet.
