Build a jib project

i found these rails and i am going to make a rail or two. i am going to cut off the bottoms of the supports. how much should i leave? how tall should i leave the rails? they are about 25-30 ft long, 3-4 ft tall. it was an old bridge and it was replaced so i am taking these.(with permission)

those look like good quality rails. i would make it so its two rectangles high

It all depends where you are going to set them up. If you can;t get speed to hit them as is, cut them down. If you can, leave them...Just imagine a HUGE A-FRAME 60 feet long.>DAMN! But when you cut them you could just put the legs in 5 gallon buckets of cement and them put in ground or weld on legs.

those are sick, if i were you id cut off the bottom supports so they're both one big rectangle then just put supports on the bottom of that

u could weld them together and make a double bar rail

 

[JTL]

both of them aren't perfectly straight so i don't think it would work

 

[dandougherty]

damn i want that shit but yea i would leave them as high as you can man

yup ur gonna need that to stick into the snow or ground. Using a rail about the same size in snow I had to sink in the legs and put the horizontal rail about 4 inches down. Plus if its to tall u can always cut them down.
