Fron what I saw, it was a little more than the edges, but I'll make a (...) (20 years ago, 17-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | (...) Why do you use a fixed field? For playing with kids, I used 4 6' long 1x4's with swing hasps (you know, the latches that close with a pin or padlock) at the ends to form an enclosure by pinning the four ends together in a square. Then use (...) (20 years ago, 17-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

But as to why ply versus other materials, it's what we started with and what was easily available at the time. Calum (20 years ago, 17-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I had that concept once--a friend works in the greenhouse shading system business, and can get yards of very high quality shading that can easily double as a arena floor, with a proper border. The issues are-- need to be on a relatively smooth (...) (20 years ago, 17-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
