A very rough calculation gives me a figure of 126 feet of rope
required.
(roughly 75' around the perimeter, adding an extra 2 feet per corner
for the spacing away from the tables, and multiplying the whole thing
by 1.5 for the slack in the rope)
How many supports would we need? Every 3 feet? 4 feet? I little
drawing gives me about 20 to 22 supports. Kevin, do you have enough
buckets? Do you have concrete? Do have time to make the rope
barrier? 1 inch PVC costs about 25 cents to 35 cents a foot. It's
sold in 10 foot lengths (at 35 cents a foot), but there are usually
shorter pieces, or pieces with broken end, etc., which go for 25 cents
a foot. The printing can be sanded off very quickly with 400 or even
600 grit sandpaper, which does not score the surface.
What say, Kevin?
