Has anyone made this before and do you have any ideas or tips? I can only find information on the web for making it for a riding mower. Thanks

Here's some basic rules to follow when you make one. You want to make one that rolls not one that you drag behind. You'll end up dragging the cut grass. It will need enough weight to bend the grass. It will need to be as wide as your mower's blades. Attach the roller to your mower's arms at the lowest point just above the deck with metal or wood bars, not chains. It could roll into the blades that way when you have to back up. your mower will have to have a bagger or mulching blades with the side covered. Throwing cut grass over the area you just rolled will loose it's look.
3" Schedual 40 PVC pipe filled with concrete with a 1/4" steel screw bar set in the center is a good way. 3" steel pipe thats 1/4" thick is also a good roller.

How to stripe your lawn with a push mower.?
Seth F
I know you can buy rollers for riders, is there such thing as a roller for a push mower. Or are there any other accesories out there to stripe your lawn with. Where can you buy them and how much do they cost? Thank you very much!
I found out a ghetto way to stripe your lawn. Tape two 5lb. weights on the back of your mower. I tried it today and the result was great. My lawn looks great, exactly what i want. Thanks for all the Suggestions.

The roller is the key to a good striped lawn mowing in different directions alone will only achieve an inferior and temporary effect. the use of what we call no8 wire mentality ie make up a roller with say a round post and cut it to the width of your mower,find a way of attaching it to the rear and weigh it down. If it is really that important and not for a one time showoff effect then my personal philosophy would be buy the proper reel mower you can get push models on the net.Good luck
