That is some mighty fine Surveying methods.

Thanks for your kind comment!

Thanks guys .. i never thought of running the line that goes right down the middle of the field as a reference or running the box lines all the way to mark both boxes… Thank you guys great video

The center line saves a lot of time. I use one when laying out Lacrosse fields as well.

[@eamonahern7495]

We use tape and metal pins to mark the outer perimeter. Then we tie a long spool of string to the pins in such a way that it'll stay tight but a single pull will undo the knot from the pin when finished. We have a roller for applying the paint using the string as a guide to keep the lines straight and square. Our measuring tape has a metric side as well as a feet side because we normally use metric in Ireland now, which we measure the perimeter with. But, because the circle, penalty and 6 yard areas etc. are in whole yards (as opposed to metres with decimal places), we flip the tape over to feet for measuring out the lines for those. I pointed out to my colleague (who's a member of the club I work at) when I first lined a pitch with him that we never put down markings for the penalty spots. He joked "we don't give away penalties at this club". Lol!

We don't paint too many soccer (football/futbol fields) here at the high school level anymore. Most schools have artificial turf fields that are permanently lined. Now we paint more American grass football fields than anything. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!!!

[@jodeci007]

How many cans of paint did this take?

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

8-10 cans on initial layout. 4-6 cans to repaint. Depends on speed of walking and length of the turf.

Great job! Nice way to do it by hand. I use a robot!

Amazing video, what is the name of the equiptment that you use to spray the paint?

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

It’s an aerosol marking stick from Pioneer Athletics. It is used with their brand aerosol field paint.

i’m stunned at 1 HR 😩 so far i only got 1 SIDELINE line down and that took me 1.5 hour 😂😂 can you guys come help me out 😅 GREAT JOB GUYS ‼️

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

Yesterday we laid out 3 football fields and re painted 2 football fields in 2 total hours with 3 guys. Needless to say we were worn out. We have one to lay out tomorrow.

[@Josephsifax96]

What do u use to paint can you tell me where to buy

[@thefootballempire1646]

can you tell me the normal human steps from penalty spot to goal for a official football field

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

12 yards or 36 feet. So you would walk 12 paces.

[@adambrowner9042]

How many tape measures and cans did you use? How much string do you recommend?

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

I use two 400 foot tapes and two 300 foot tapes. Approximately 8-10 cans for the first lining. Repainting usually takes 4-6 cans depending on how faded it is. Easier to keep it fresh. Enough string to stretch a piece the length of the field. 360 feet. And another piece to go across the field. 210 feet.

[@reaching4joy]

What kind of string/cable is best?@@CREENBIRDVideos

[@afansejdinovic3084]

What are the paint materials called?

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

Game Day aerosol by pioneer athletics.

[@soccervillegas]

How many stakes do you use for this set up ?

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

I use 4 big screwdrivers that fit through the end of the tape measures. I use an additional 4 or 5 screwdrivers for marking the boxes. Bright colors are great so you can see them when making straight lines and not losing them. Having them fit in your pocket is beneficial so you don’t have to walk back to the truck or cart when you need one.

Great video! Can you do a Volleyball court for HS 60ft/30ft? Covid is preventing indoor sports at the moment and the ropes pose a safety hazard for grass/outdoor volleyball. Thank you!

Can I Make Small Line With White Colour in Football Ground

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

@@Tripurasa1994 if you hold the paint stick closer to the ground when painting it will be narrower. Pioneer also makes an aerosol painter that has four wheels and can be used to paint a smaller line.

How many guys did you have on the job?

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

There were 2 of us on this video. 3 or 4 people can make it faster, if they all know what to do. It’s harder to do with only one person.

Or you can buy a paint machine for a more professional result. The video uses the aerosol method, which is fast and cheaper than buying a full on machine. You can always go over the aerosol layout with a machine later.

[@chrisebbert1994]

How do you make sure corners line up?

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

When you square up in the beginning. When you measure equal at each end after squaring up it stays the same.

[@chrisebbert1994]

@@CREENBIRDVideos I guess what I am saying is that how can you make sure that say North Corner A is going to be inline with South Corner A?

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

As long as your first corner is 100% square, everything else should stay square as long as your tape measures are straight and your measurements are equal. Keeping the tapes straight is key.

[@allancorrea5136]

I believe you can also square up the field using 6, 8 and 10

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

Yes, you are correct. I have used it before when lining fields that aren’t mowed short, or are not flat and level.

[@elsierra9741]

How do you do it !

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

@@elsierra9741 just like the 30 40 50 squaring up in the video except you would go 60 80 and 100 feet. It would be more accurate.

No way you would do that in 1 hour.

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

My team member and I can do a full soccer field in less than an hour using this method on a field that is sufficient in size and properly mowed. I have done this exact field by myself from scratch in less than an hour and a half. In my defense, I'm getting older and I'm a little bit slower, but I've been painting fields this way for 20+ years. Thanks for watching my video and commenting.

[@corytick1638]

Too bad dude got paint all over your tape measure.

[@CREENBIRDVideos]

Yes, that is the price of being fast. We wipe them when reeling, but we use them so much they are cheap and don’t last long.
