I have heard this topic discussed in the past and it sounded like a good idea. This year I am associated with a fund-raising group for the High School Softball teams and I may actually be able to do something about it. So I'm beginning my homework and trying to see what significant information I can bring to the table to sell the idea.
My question is, for those of you who have experience with these, where do you get them, how much do they typically cost, how many guys to roll/unroll, etc. what is a good source of info on the subject? I understand you can use a large piece of pipe (culvert) to rollthem up on- what size ? (I may have contractors willing to donate material)
Any precautions you could recommend against vandalism? This is a suburban location and it's not unusual for kids to hang around parks at night looking for something to do...
The HS has 3 softball teams and I'm thinking we may be able to cover 3 fields, maybe 4. These fields are also used by the LL program, so it would help a lot of teams avoid rainouts during the rainiest season of the year. Realistically, I think we'll do well to get one field per season for the next 3 or 4 years.
Any info at all will be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
