I went to the general manager and asked if i could grab a few pallets. He said sure and told me i could take as much as i wanted. I also went to the wood cutting area and got some 8' long 2x4 scraps. Along with normal 3'x4' pallets, i snagged two 3'x10' pallets that would be great for an in-run. Just thought i would give the broke skiers a heads up! Good Luck in building.
 
Not shown in the picture:-a shit ton of 2x4s in my car-a few more pallets-turf scraps-plywood
Didn't have enough straps to tie it all down.
 
an urban drop-in for my DF and probably some mtn biking ladders. I have about 5 more pallets at home, so i have more than enough.
 
theres a construction site near my friends house, I went through a couple of the big construction dumpsters and found a fully assembled set of stairs. its 3 steps and it needed one screw to be used. Me and my friends use it to get up to the top of our drop in. We also found a bunch of shit to jib in the dumpsters.
 
make sure you buy the gray pvc, way cheaper, its a little more brittle, but where i live, it doesnt ever get too cold
 
snag and a half, good call ima have to check out some shop, i was planning on grabbing some of those things on your roof from some construction site, see if they have extras
 
To the guy who complained about 2x4 prices: you must have been looking at the wrong tag, either than or you were looking at really nice treated wood. A regular stud (i.e. an 8ft 2x4) is $1.96 at home depot.

And to the guy who tried to be clever about cutting down a tree for free: do you have a free wood processing plant too? Or were you going to hand-shave that puppy with your economy sized boy-scout knife? :)

To the author: that's what I'm talking about. Way to be resourceful. You can build anything from 2x4s
 
Ha, no I just cut it up, right now its triangular shaped, I used the bottom portion as the three main posts, just sunk them in the ground half a meter and have been using the top parts as the supports connecting the three. I happened upon some other scrap wood from a destroyed deck i found on craigslist as well. The trees were already dead for you environmentalists as well, there was a disease that went around our neighborhood so my neighbor paid me 20 bucks to take her dead trees to make room for the live ones to grow in. Be resourceful kids.
