C rail

[gabe.]

anyone know about how i would go about making a c-rail. i have plenty of wood, and know where to get pvc. but like would i bend the wood for the frame, then bend the pvc on the wood?or would i have to like somehow steam the wood to make it bendy
anyone who has made one, help me out please +k
kthxbi

look at my pictures, we made a rollercoaster box and we have the pictures of making it on here. essentially you bend the food using other beams to pull it together. steaming the wood will make it more maluable.

i made this two summers ago, its 16 feet long. i just got four 4' long sections 2x4, angled the edges so when put together they'd form a C, ( i used a 7 1/2 degree angle) then used pieces of 1/4 inch plywood cut to fit the angles to hold them together, then added feet just like on a regular rail and added the cross bean things for extra support, for the PVC i used 2 inch thick and had a friend hold it while i screwed it in place. hope that helps.
