Halfway through the season we can lower the amount of paint used. The ongoing
painting will have discouraged the growth of the grass.
When resupplying, don't take more paint than for three weeks, or there
may not be enough left for the last teams restocking that week, and it
will be harder for me to keep track of stock. - But in the last weeks
of the season it's OK to take an extra box, it would be such a waste
of time and gas to pick up a few cans.
Please note on the clipboard how many cases you took for which field,
so I can keep track of how much paint to order.
Paint Use Calculations
Total Length of Lines on Fields (in yards);
30x20: 180 x2 = 360
35x25: 220 x2 = 440
45x30: 265 x2 = 530
265 x4 = 1060
60x40: 455
80x50: 580
100x70: 740
(10R circle: 63)
One can will paint 50-75 yards, 150-225 feet of the line. |
