Ok so i wanna build a not-so-sketchy sketch up. i wanna build a backyard park. i want a sturdy drop in, i want a good box/ rail, i want some other features that are easy to build and fun as fuck to hit.

btw i live in Illinois so its about as flat as the plywood you find at home depot.

Im looking for what materials i need, cost of those materials, and possibly any pictures of some drop ins, some rails/ boxes, and any other backyard features yall got.

i plan on building this next summer and plan on using it for the winter so i dont need turf or carpet or any of that.

lets get this shit started! Enlighten me guys!!!
 
well it you looking to buy a rail you can go tohttp://www.jibsforcribs.com/ and get some, my setup cost me about $600 including the msnow, I saved up for 4 years for mine so make sure you have enough money, with out the msnow I would say it would cost $200 for good ply wood and 2 by 4s
 
If OP decides to buy one of those I try to sell him one instead if I'm driving out that way for any shows in the time frame that he's looking.

im looking for the fun of building it too. i like to build shit. i just get the yea thats mine when all my buddies are over.
 
If you message me your number i can send you picks of what I have so far, but if you go to the other forum "show me your rails" or whatever it is you will find a lot. Most are similar and just built differently. I recommend"

1) triple/double barrel pvc pipe rail

2) try and get a giant tube from construction

3) go to home depot or other home improvement stores and buy a 4 inch diameter pipe and put it on a rail (i made one of these)

4) make a wide box with pvc pipes

I build mine similar to the TC does, its easiest, fastest, and cheapest wood wise to build but its sturdy af. I reccomend going to construction places to get scrap wood/pvc/plywood
 
Forgot to mention, you will need screws. DONT USE NAILS. Get a drill, something to cut wood, pvc, 2x4s and a flat place to build.

Another very important thing about screws. Get the star head screws, they're slightly more expensive but they drive sooo Much better and you won't strip out any heads or Phillips drill bits .
 
Get a little bit extra wood and turf than you need, just in case you mess up something or need an extra support. My entire setup cost me $100 including the pvc and turf. For the wood I just grabbed some extra from a construction site or you could use pallets with plywood and turf on top for your drop in ramp. Also don't forget to use either plastic lattice or orange construction fence on your dropin for as much speed as possible. As for rails, as said above, the rails TC builds are a super simple design. Mine is normally a foot and a half tall but you could go higher. If you build a bunch of pvc rails you'll be good. If you make the jump a BIT higher than the rail 270's on will be better to learn. Other than dish soap helps with speed a lot, but always water your setup with a hose before a sesh.
