Hello Brad…yes and yes.
I even striped the fields with my old Conventional. Yes, pushing 270 pounds over a bumpy yard…!
That was too hard.
Next…I also have striped Lacrosse and Soccer. I used my Airless then. Times had changed.
But…with Graco’s Field Lazer and Titan’s 800…( Now the 850 )…those price points and almost every the City’s School budget…those days…for me…are gone.
1) I’d ask too much for their budget.
2) They can honestly buy a small machine…for their district…share it…etc…and stripe the football field several times during the season.
3) They can also stripe the playground too.
All that said…I still striped for my City’s School District…up until last year…when they cut that completely from the budget.
Next…a suburb here stripes their own…which includes multiple Soccer Fields, Middle School Football…etc…at multiple parks and schools.
There’s all the info.
And…your locale may be totally different. Your AD could read…”We Stripe Parking Lots, Playgrounds, Athletic Fields and Floors”. ( I use the word STRIPE on purpose. It separates us all from STRIPPERS…! )
Next…my machine sits more than it runs these days. That said…I have a few more to do…and…I just finished up on a floor. It was a Two Part Epoxy. There’s still work out there…but yes, it’s only a few and here and there.
Last…as your career progresses your “Season” will lengthen.
My first year ended in September…!…then November…now December. Every year you’ll stripe a little longer and also start a little sooner.
Did I help?
Oh…make sure you consider the National Pavement Expo. Brett is speaking there…!
Thanks.
Dan
