There's a lot of homemade Mini-Z tracks out there, but they all have small flaws that don't fit what i've been looking for. I wanted a modular track, where you can completely disassemble at and any of the pieces can be used in any position. So no, cutting or gluing. This is what I came up with.
I used Anti fatigue mats from harbor freight for the track surface. six packs, about $10 a pack. Four mats a pack (24 mats total)
I slotted the edge pieces together (theres 8 edge pieces a pack) to make the barriers. I held down the barriers with velcro cable ties from Amazon. (amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-Reusable-Fastening-Organizing) See the pictures for how I used them to hold the barrier down.
Now I need some ideas for how to make the outside edge barriers better. All they currently are, are edge pieces that have been rotated 90 degrees from the mat. They work, but they're quite flimsy and when they get hit multiple times (which happens a lot) they tend to fall off. Any ideas on how to secure them without using anything too permanent? All I can think of requires glue or cutting.
