Above ground portable runway

Unread postby Flyyfisher » Thu Jul 13, 2006 12:11 am

I am a high school vault coach and would like to build an above ground portable runway that can be used at different sites. I am curious as to the dimensions of the sections and the general construction. Do most portable runways use roll out mats on top? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated from those who have knowledge in this matter. Thanks!
