If your in a Hurry, go to Walmart. In the hobbly section. My Walmart has 60" and 120" taped. About 1-2 dollars.

I found one at a JoAnn fabric shop. Any sort of place that caters to crafter's or sowing would have them.

In the shade - PDX, OR

It is always cool when your 120" ends up short at some point in the season. (Still waiting to get there myself)

Option 1 Connect 2 tapes together.

Option 2 Cut a real long piece of string & measure the length. OR

Option 3 Buy the pumpkin measuring tape 192"!

I have both a Walmart and Joanns close enough by here. My dogs chewed up my tape so I will have to get another or 2 and tape them together. I'll check out the 192" tape also.
Thanks,

Menards or any other chain hardware store have contractors fiberglass tape measures. Come on a little spool with a hand crank. Extremely handy and neat storage. I would never go back to fabric store tape measures.

Why that? Get your pumpkins bigger with that fiberglass tape? I got mine out of the sewingbox and it seems it works.

I've seen the big roll up tapes. A friend of mine uses it for carpet laying. It is soft enough and tough enough. I will check on it also.
I got my last tape from a sewing box and my dogs loved it.
Thanks all,
