I'm trying to make a rail setup in my backyard and I'm not sure what material I should use. The neveplast stuff looks like the best but it also looks expensive as hell and I dont even know where to buy it. I've heard of some people using Astroturf, is that the best option if I dont want to spend lots of money?

That neveplast stuff looks like its the same thing as msnow. I also couldn't find any way to buy it on their website but msnow is on sale right now. And if you're only concerned with saving money, astroturf is prob the way to go but msnow works like a charm.

Nope, I wet it down everytime I use it and so far thats been good enough. If I find myself needing more speed I just toss some Dish soap on it and it's good to go. I actually made a whole thread on mine if you need any help or anything lemme know

Huh did someone really just make a thread about a summer setup without being yelled at to look at old threads?

Honestly spraying a carpet with water and a little bit of soap works pretty well. Never used msnow or anything like that but I’ve never really had an issue with carpet.
