I'm going to build a turf ramp and kicker at the end of the season. I can't afford M-snow or the other high end stuff. do you guys got pictures of yours, I want some other ideas. Should i use counstruction fencing too or will that just slow me down?

More speed less control on fencing , look up the build-a-jib cult they have guides for drop ins and anything else you need for a summer set up

How much water do you guys usually use to make the turf fast?

I love my setup. Like a 5 or 6 foot ramp with turf for the drop. I dont think building a jump on the bottom of the ramp is very good. Just buy a few more strips of turf then lay them down on the ground so you can set up more than one feature. If you have 2 1080 ramps put them next to each other and lay the turf on top of them for a jump. Go with turf because it's easy to ski without snow and it holds snow really well.

I've used fence for the top and turf for the lip and it works great!
If you use turf for the drop in, it will not work instantly, it will take a few descent to make the bristles the way you want them
