Idea for backyard rail

[thejackal1177]

alright so im sure many of us ae well aware that lexan and hdpe are super expensive ....so i pondered a little idea that could possibly work ?? mayb?? so if u just took some nice wood and polyurathaned the shit out of it ....like a buncha coats do you think that would sowrk?? or better yet has anyone tried.....

 

[parkerhouse]

dunno, but pvc's cheap. i use it, but it cracks alot

 

[thejackal1177]

^ yah pvc is great for rails....but im talking box's....

 

[Snowcase]

like someone else said, search bar is my favorite material but hey thats just me

 

[thejackal1177]

^ if this had been discussed before that would be a witty understandable comment ....however it hasnt so i disreguard that remark

 

[skiermw]

ive heard lexon (whatever that is) works well, my friends made a box out of pvc sheets that he got somewhere, they work relativly well too

 

[skiermw]

yo could also take a bunch of pvc pipes and put them together i guess

 

[Snowcase]

actually it has

^^ there is a thread about putting pieces of polyethylene on boxes.

anyway, my cousin polyurathaned a box a few years ago, and it worked fairly well if there was a light sprinkling of snow on top. The problem is that the polyurathane coats sort of get scraped off and you have to re-coat the box after a long session. Overall, lexan and hdpe work a bit better, but polyurethane is certainly a LOT cheaper.

 

[Snowcase]

yea its a trade of price for quality

yea i had an idea to use the rhino liner stuff you can get at walmart, but don't put in the grits. i bet that would slide nice.

I was gonna sand and polyurethane the shit out of some wood and make some rails for the summer to do inside, this is based on how well you can slide on wood floors and shelves.

 

[thejackal1177]

^ well i was slidign a door last year and it was slidign pretty well

 

[dynastarsic]

CORRECTDECK... works perfect... i have a 30foot box in my yard.. about 1.25 a foot

 

[DRPSET]

compressed plywood would work well if you used copeing

 

[Desjardins]

your idea could work i guess, but im not sure how well

 

[Desjardins]

its going to be a trial and error thing

 

[bobs]

i think sr used that stuff it was like plastic decking, if thats wat ur talking about

 

[BELFRAGE]

if you have a pvc pipe you can get them long but how would you get them higer, and what is the best way to do this

please answer

 

[geeplz]

well have you ever tried layex ya it works out well specially the lubricated shit slides really well if ya know what i mean ^^

 

[bobs]

wat are u asking, how to attach them or how to make a rail higher...

 

[Polar_Bear]

yea well what i did was i coated my wood with the search bar a bunch and it worked really well. Huh huh coated my wood

 

[Dan-Man]

thats how u do it my friend anything with a search bar is mone

but seriously if we all used the search bar no one here would be able to talk aboot anything now would we.

 

[WILSON]

wood fucking sucks for rails, no matter how well its built it will just fall aprt over time, just spring the extra money and weld it. sooooo much better

 

[BELFRAGE]

are u talking about the metal pvc or the plastic pvc

 

[mnjib]

you can get PVC in sheets look it up online.

 

[SiverMike]

Home depot sells this stuff that slides awesome and its mad cheap too, its called "there are allready 100 threads on this, look them up"

 

[snoopy]

[tjski]
