Here are some more pics of homemade lawn striping rollers. I made one somewhat like the second one and I think it would work better if it was held against the ground (by like a pole, not a chain, that can bend). But mine was also lighter, so it didn't really work.

lmf,
Wow, I didn't realize there were so many kinds!!! That last one with the chains reeks of the suggerstion by user Carscw for using a piece of chain link fencing. Looks like I've got a bunch of research to do:0)
I'll try to find a picture of that Gravely brand "hex striping kit" if I can and post it here.
