hey dude, i need to get in touch with greg schneuer to see what's going on-- as far as i'm concerned i want you on the team. i would feel comfortable telling you to fly later as long as it isn't too big of a deal for you.

where in florida?

i'll call greg and get back to you asap

yeah man, no problem. i say just assume you are on the team and change that ticket. i agree about FLA in the summer-- yuck. when and where do you guys "practice?" i'd love to join you if i can, and if you guys don't mind.

The briere song made me cry.

Hi Steve, here's some poop for you. Check out these 3 websites:
1) conwedplastics.com - building & construction, fence products, heavy duty diamond fencing
2) redden-net.com - plastic netting, vexar plastic sheet netting
3) industrial netting.com - plastic mesh, extruded

Of course, pricing is needed, and I never like to buy this type of stuff without first having a sample. All the plastic-type barriers I'm interested in are UNLIKE the thin, orange ghetto fencing we have (the stuff that catches the high shots). ...new comment window needed..this one is screwed up...

...furthermore, I bought a roll from Home Depot that might work. It's thinnner than I thought/like, and it runs about $16.50 per 25 feet. I will try to get some of those plastic sandwiching pieces on it like I mentioned before Thanksgiving. Hopefully you can take a look.

Between the company accounts I have at Grainger, Tacoma Screw, and Home Depot, I do not get any discounts.

Later,
Adam

Dude! I've made a shitload of phone calls just now, getting prices, minimums, samples, and local distributors. A lot of this stuff ain't cheap or the minimums are too high for us. Don't waste your time with these guys, I've already gotten what we need from them: conwed, redden, industrial netting, fastenal (local), and united rental (local). I'll fill you in on Thurs/Sat.

Hot damn! I got a sample in for the stuff we can buy from United Rentals for about $70/100-ft. I think it's awesome. I'll drop it by this saturday somehow - I won't be there. Product ID: from Conwed, "Smooth Top Heavy Duty", X06040. Rolls are 48" wide.

Steve, not only will I attempt to bring by the sample fencing and contact info, but also a mock setup (using inferior fencing, unfortunately) of how I propose we "sandwich" and protect the fencing as the tensioned cable continues one way, and the fencing takes its turn for the corners. It's what we talked about briefly. This will be a good example of how it might work. I would also add these "sandwiched" pieces at the very ends of the fencing, so we can have good purchase with our bungees at the same time not risking any tears.

I did see the post about the possibility of another venue or Sunday ...

This is how I would slice it:
