you can build a box out of plywood and you wont have a problem some angle iron on the corners will make it slide a little better too but its not necessary

what im trying to do is build a down kink... but on the top im just gonna have 2 by 4's and then im gonna put like some sheet metal on the top or somethin but im just tryin to get some ideas about what to use.

Today I just made a rail. I turned an old 8 foot bench upside down. Then I nailed two small boards across the legs and nailed a big board from end to end on the two smaller ones. After that I cut two pieces of ??1 1/2 or 2 inch pvc and bolted them side by side on top of the large board. I ended up with a sturdy, nice looking, 8 foot long rail.

 
we just finished welding a 30 ft handrail, its pretty good, its our 2nd rail we made so far

aint easy bein shleezy

dont use sheet metal it fucks your edges so bad and doesnt slide as nice. Use lexan, puckboard pvc sheet, p-tex, nylon there are soo many dif. things U can use that are better the sheet metal. PVC sheete it so cheap too.

 
I just built a 12 foot box, its all wood then i used 3/32 inch plexiglass for the top. I cut the plexiglass back on the sides to put angle iron made of sheet metal on as coping. The plexiglass slides great but was getting chipped up a lot on the sides without coping. To use real angle iron it would have costed $50 the sheet metal stuff was $4. The plexiglas was $32.

big and bad, bitch!
 
ya dont use sheet metal unless u wax ur skis like every 25 minutes

-sticks and snow will break my bones and i will bleed profusely-
 
^^ that sounds exactly lie the box I biult today but I used Lexan and instead of coping I have a 1 inch pvc rail on each side. twelve feet long two feet tall. sittin in my living room

 
a bunch of my friends made a park in his backyard

3 rails...2 boxes...and a couple of jumps...all with the help of his snow machine

 
those are prpbably the most reasonably priced rails i've seen. still expensive as hell, yes, but reasonable for what you get

.
 
pvc piping for cooping work pretty good?

and plexi glass is a good for the top?

or does it not slide very well, planning on building a box wednesday, yea yea

 
yeah we got a pvc rail and its not even fun to ride, seems like you get on and your off so fast, cant have any steeze on it
