Ouch to the pricing. That's a lot, especially if we then need to buy
materials for a mounting track. Plus a good deal of work to make some kind
of track mount which will fit all 3 types of tables.

If you guys want to do the rope barrier thing, I have 150ft of bright
turquoise/multicolor retired climbing rope (cut into a 75ft length and
either another 75 or two 37.5's) and many many Lego buckets which are good
for making post bases (filled with concrete). We'd only have to buy posts
(wood or plastic drainpipe) and screw eyes (and possibly snap links) to
attach the rope to the posts.
