anybody good with math?

[buck440]

since nobody knows anything about where to find a foam pit me and a friend are going to build one. lenght is 60ft width 50ft 12ft deep...this site http://www.foambymail.com:80/Accessories.html#FoamScraps sells 36"x36"x60" bundles. how many bundles would i need?

[250x_kyle]

60ft x 50ft x 12ft= 36000 sqft

3ft x 3ft x 5ft= 45 sqft

36000sqft/45sqft = 800

Correct math, but it would actually be ft^3 not sq feet.

Yup looks like you would need 800 for them to fit in their perfectly, but you will be tossing them in there and not stacking them perfectly, so I think you will actually need 600-700.

fill it with bean bag pellets:devil:

so 800x$30= $24,000

[buck440]

man thought it would be like $2000 at most:( i cant justify buying $24000 in scrap foam lol guess i need to stop at furniture stores and what not and see what they have to give away.

line the bottom with old mattresses. that will save you some $$$

[motofreak2772]

And tires.. It prevents electrical fires too I guess. idk the order I think its tires matresses then foam.

[J.Brown121]

We put down 2 layers of pallets, 2 layers of mattress', and then our foam.

[buck440]

yah i know you got to layer it with tires, palets ect but i want enough foam for the worst landing like upside down, nosedive, nose high. that's why i'm wanting to ride one so i can ast the owner all these questions and first hand experience helps

[juice420]

man, I just think you should spend the $24,000 on the foam :huh

just fill it with water and outfit your quad with a massive omnidirectional snorkel lol :D
