Draw

Hey Guys (& Gals) Anybody had any experience putting down something to designate spaces on gravel? I have a PM that wants me to stripe some pavement but she also wants 7 spaces somehow marked on the unpaved portion. Somebody told me to use old fire hose - but I don't know where to get any. Any input

Sell her some painted rocks or gravel that is a contrasting color. We've used wheel stops pinned to the ground to indicate parking spaces.

A bed & breakfast I stay at every summer wanted their gravel parking lot striped. Here's what I did: We inlaid concrete brick pavers into the surface.

You can paint the gravel, just use lower presser and put down a heaver coat, it will stay in place better then you would think, just not as well as a solid surface.

Anyone ever use this software? If so what do you like and dislike about it?

I'd like to check it out - how can I? Got a web site?

It's a good idea but it needs lots of improvement.

Ya, I hab been striping spaces over to de University on de grabel. Bigger rocks works more better.

Sell them a maintenance package, that includes a re-stripe every quater. Works well for gravel lots.

I put an offer for someone to help me work out bugs on a simple free microsoft excell set up to calculate paint and beads needed for jobs that contractors do. I posted it under tips and tricks and have gotten no response i just need someone to try it tell me if you hate it or love it. It will give you paint needed, beads needed, amount by color (white and yellow) and will tell you how many buckets, drums, or totes you will need to complete the job. I am just trying to simplify stuff for contractors and am in need of someone to try it and give me feed back if you are interested e-mail me and i will send it to you for FREE through e-mail use it have your buddies use it, and then just give feedback. It is based on standard line widths 4"-12" at with paint applied at 15 mils thick and 6 pounds of beads per gallon. if anyone wants to see it e-mail me at [email removed] or reply to the post in Tips and Tricks. Any problems i will correct and in the end should allow quicker more accurate estimates along with easier ordering see as it will give you what you need to order anyway you want to order it. Free just give it a try
