And you might find better prices if you shop around. If its an educational project, I would also contact local greenhouses and ask them if they have any scrap ends of rolls they could donate. The garden center I used to work at would keep the scrap ends, usually something like 10-12 feet by whatever width, often 20 or 40 feet, laying around. I know a couple of times they gave some away to the local schools for projects.
