Thank you for the video. How much weight do you suggest adding in the tube? Planning on using sand.

Thank you for the details to make the stripper, just finished mine and did my first stripping. Looks great! Thanks again.

Hey Matthew! It’s my pleasure. Thank you for watching. I’m not exactly sure the weight, but I’d fill it up with sand and it will be just right.

That’s awesome, Greg! Enjoy those sweet stripes and thanks for watching.

Sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.

😂 100% accurate.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

DadTube… full of lawn care tips, terrible puns and stories that essentially have no beginning, middle, or end as told by those leading lives of quiet desperation in the suburbs of America

😂 you are correct my friend!

Gotta beat the neighbors lawn... dinklebergggg

That’s a good idea! Thanks

Who were you in another life?

I did exactly this before I saw your comment. It works really well.

Buumbaclot..Good fkn idea

Hi. What size eye bolts did you get?

😂 well thank you for watching my video.

Next year me and you will be out of high school 20 years brother…….TWENTY years…..I’m here right beside you with some Nike monarchs trying to get stripes in my yard……I’m gonna have a beer for you and me both tonight bro, we’re old 😩😩😩😩 🍺 🍻 cheers my dawg

I graduated in 2005 myself, the real question is what kind of smoker do you have ? 😂

@@otepayI’ll have one tomorrow when I do my yard, I’ll be wearing my tore up Abercrombie jeans, that i paid to look like I got caught up in my mower!

@@michaelsims4478reqteq bullseye, big green egg (knockoff - charbroil version ) and my neighbors old charcoal grill…. The white air monarchs are on there way apparently!

Now way!! 😂 that’s hilarious. Well enjoy your lawn stripes, Dennis!

Great idea, David! Thanks.

😂 im a chick that does all the yard work. I take pride in my yard, and my husband is not allowed to work in my yard, lol

Yes ma’am!! My wife knows she’s not allowed in the front yard! Respectfully of course! 😂😂

Love it!!! I’m glad you are having great results. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Screw them as long as you are satisfied!!!

I'm sure they hate your lawn looking super cut and their looking boring lol

Dominating 💪🏽

😂😂 this is hilarious. Thanks for watching and for making me laugh, Joe!

That’s awesome, Alisa! Good luck with your business and thanks for watching.

Thank you for watching, TJ!

That’s awesome!! Great idea and thanks for sharing.

@@lakehouselawncare1755 anytime!

Awesome!! Love to hear it. Have a great weekend, Rich!

That works too, but I’ve had good results with this design. Thanks for watching, Chris!

Boat rollers work too if you happen to have some laying around

Thank you!

I have always loved the look, too! Thanks for watching.

Did you do it? How'd it go?

Jeff, I’m glad to hear you’ve had success with your striping kit. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, buddy! I didn’t want to drop $100+ either.

Yeah, I don't understand why these things are so expensive. Its like a third of the cost of my brand new mower!

Haha far from a genius, but thank you! I appreciate you watching my video.

@@lakehouselawncare1755 Well, I can tell you that you put together a fabulous video for us "Perfectionist on Lawns"! I'm going to Home Depot tomorrow!!!

Thank you, buddy! Enjoy those stripes!

My pleasure! Thanks for watching.

Thank you for the kind words and for watching! Your striped new grass will look great!

Awesome!! Thanks for the comment, Lawrence! Enjoy your lawn stripes.

Thank you for watching and commenting, Fred! I’m glad to hear you are having some awesome results!

Thank you, brother!! Definitely a budget lawn move. Thanks for watching my friend!

Thank you for watching!

Checker boarding is just completing the process in 2 directions kinda like a cross cut if you know what I mean,

Thank you, Mike! I appreciate it.

Thank you, Brandon!

Awesome!! You will be laying down sweet stripes in no time! Thanks for watching.

How’d it work

@@landonmakowski7767 yes. Do tell Bob. Howd it turn out brother??

👀

@@tiffenwilliams872 😂

Jay, my pleasure, buddy. I look forward to seeing your awesome stripes!

Thank you! Yes, concrete would be perfect.

Heavy is better

I'll be doing this!! Brilliant video - best design around I reckon, everyone else has their's rolling.....think this design pushes the grass flatter!!

Could the weight of grass clippings in the bag plus dragging a concrete filled PVC pipe around cause undue strain on the mower self-propel function thus ruining the mower......

@@teebee4992 good point.

😂 I’m glad you’re here! Thanks for watching, buddy!

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thank you, Mike! I appreciate your kind words.

@UCNCcuYnLc8g_I--PTj3-kUQ because i went to school to study growing grass and getting that striped look without expensive mowers is hard and this is a solution. Instead of showing everyone you are a tool, just scroll by next time.

I already deleted the comment from them.

@@lakehouselawncare1755 thanks man. Have to love the internet. When even positive compliments get attacked. 😁

@@MFSINPSA 😂 I just make videos to try to help people out, and I get attacked in the comments frequently. Some people obviously just have bigger problems that have nothing to do with us.

😂 thank you for watching! Enjoy your lawn stripes.

How’d it go did it work

It’s the “Putin price hike”

@@Floridaman458 Quotations never mattered more than this lol

Yeah pvc is stupid expensive

@@Floridaman458 no its the liberal price hike. It was done before putin

That is a great solution as well!

Genius!

attach a stiff brush for dethaching as well, haha jkjk cool idea

that’s the living definition of “don’t fix what ain’t broke” why buy a new fancy one when your push broom works fine?!

I read that using a brush can scratch the blades of grass and can create a potential for diseases.

Bah, now that I'm reading, the idea was already below. :-/

Great idea for allowing you to lift the striper and thanks for watching, Noneya!

@@lakehouselawncare1755 Thanks...although my Zoysia didn't do a great job striping. It's so dense that it pushes the blades back up. It does stripe, but even with using a 4" PVC pipe and gravel, the extra weight didn't allow the Zoysia to hold a stripe very long - maybe a day or two. If I was someone that mowed every day or every other day it would take, but I don't have the time for that. Thanks again for the video!

Never cared for how Zoysia grass feels under your feet, it is however one of the easiest to maintain, if you like that sort of grass.

@@88krazie There are multiple types of Zoysia. Some are thin bladed and a bit pokey on the feet. I have Zenith Zoysia which is a medium bladed Zoysia, and I find it quiet comfortable to walk on barefoot. I also mow my lawn at 1.5 inches most of the time versus down to 3/4 inch, so that may make it a bit softer. A few of the neighborhood kids that play in my front Zoysia lawn commented they loved playing in my lawn more than any other because it was so soft and felt good to play in and roll around in. Zoysia takes about the same amount of work as most other grasses. I mow about the same frequency as others with nice lawns in my neighborhood. I can go heavier on the root pruning herbicides like Prodiamine or Dithiopyr, and I need to apply fertilizers and such as often as others, although I do not need to put down as much nitrogen as many other types. Weed control is a little easier as once the lawn is dormant, anything not dormant is a weed and it sticks out like a sore thumb. I live in the transition zone and my neighbor keeps a great fescue lawn. I'm not sure why people like fescue so much. Sure, it has a very deep root system so it can go longer without water, but you plant one seed, you get one plant, and over time that plant gets old and gets diseased or dies and leaves a void which makes it easier for weeds to pop up. You can fight this with a pre-emergent, but when you do this, you cannot overseed to fill in these holes, and if you do need to overseed, you also have weeds growing in at the same time as the new seed. He doesn't put down any KBG to spread and fill in the voids. He mows it with a striping kit, and to most that don't know much about lawn care, the strips look really nice. If you pay attention between mowings, you'll see a fair amount of weed pressure. There' are several spots that are brown where the Fescue has died out and left voids. I put down some Midnight KBG in the first few days of April and do nothing but water it. I used a SunJoe dethatcher which with the dethatching attachment is just an electric power rake, which after mowing down ton 1 inch, I raked and pulled up as much debris as possible. I left the weed root system to maintain the soil structure so the dogs won't make it a muddy mess, and hoped a fair amount of the KBG would establish, which is has. It's buried in a ton of weeds, but it's in place to spread. I'll spray herbicide in late summer to see if the KBG will fill in. If so, I'll put down prodiamine to prevent new weeds over the winter and see how the Midnight KBG goes. I have two dogs that run and play in the back yard, so I'm testing which is easier to maintain with dogs playing, and which is easier to mow. I hate how cool season grasses clump up and stick to the mower deck. My Zoysia doesn't clump like that, and when i have a clean deck starting to mow my Zoysia, it stays clean. Unless the cool season lawn/weeds in the back yard are dry from lack of rain for several hot days, the mower deck is caked with glued on wet grass/chlorophyll, and it dumps grass in bulk here and there as the build up gets too thick. Unless I'm really impressed with the KBG, I'll just take Zoysia plugs and let them spread and take over the back lawn year by year. I don't like other types of grass as much because it feels like you're walking on little clumps of bunching grass. Which is why the kids loved playing in my lawn.

Thank you, Faith! I appreciate you watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching and enjoy your project!

Thank you, Bobby!

Thank you! That’s a good idea. I appreciate it.

Thank you, John!

Thank you so much for the kind words and for the sun. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

I was wondering if this would work for my EGO. Thanks for the comment added.

Thavks for this. I use an 80v kobalt mower and wondered if the added weight would hurt the motor

Thanks for the heads up!

Where did you make the holes to mount the carabiners to??

@@Anon-ft1yb I drilled two holes 14in apart between the back wheels right above the rubber flap on the bottom of the mower. The rubber flap is 16.25in length on my EGO. My PVC piece is 16in and the eye hooks are 14in apart leaving 1in on each end

Thank you! I have used this design for a long time and it is my favorite by far.

Hell yeah!! Enjoy those sweet stripes! Thanks for watching.

Cost is $10

Nice, Rocco! I’m sure that does a great job, too. Thanks for watching!

Rocco, how did you attach the lead pipe to the back flap?

Thank you for watching and commenting! Enjoy your lawn stripes!

Awesome!! If they don’t have the end caps, Lowe’s will.

That's a great idea, how do you know where to set it so it's not smashed in the ground and not to high up I keep my lawn cut to 3 inches, and I would love to do that I have a few old concrete brooms still look new but I could spare one lol

Awesome!! Thanks for watching and commenting, Johnny!

Yep I’d throw a lock washer in there too

Good call!

That works, too!

So you had success with Bermuda?

@@rameshkaranam Yes, it will work on Bermuda. Ever notice how golf greens will have those strips also? It just doesn’t work too well with St. Augustine which is everywhere here in the south.

@@Shaken_AND_Stirred thanks for the response. Let me try this !!!

@@rameshkaranam Most certainly. You can’t beat the price.

Thanks, buddy!

👍🏼

Can you please post a photo of this?

Hahaha My wife calls me cheap all the time. Thanks for watching!

You are not cheap, you are a frugal genious.

Thanks for the comment, Jordan! I’m glad your lawn stripes are looking awesome.

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing your story.
