Need some help for a summer setup, not trying to break the bank but also want it to work good. Any tips or ideas?
 
Just find what you can for used materials, check marketplace for used pvc. If you can find somebody getting rid of their deck just ask if you can use the wood. I built my setup without having to drop a dime.
 
Drive around town looking for materials. I did that in Portland and found a lot of abandoned pallets and used them for the drop in, extra wood, etc.
 
Get some cheap 2x4 and any rails or tubes you want, check my thread to see the design I used for my rail
 
See if you can find pallets near shipping areas or at work.

Or, you can take some off this truck I saw today?

the best set up for you depends on what youre working with...

as most have already said, PVC is the cheapest rail option. but a rail isnt an entire set up.

where do you plan on using it? will it have a permanent place to stay? what sort of budget do you have? what sort of tools do you ahve?
 
i got this pvc tube at a gas station because i asked if i could take it and they said sure lol, when theres no snow i just use that wooden box to slide on the rail, astroturf works real good at the end too, some slush or soapy water helps too! go around construction sites and shit and search for some pvc my man! worst thing they say is no .... or just "tactically acquire" it as we say in the army haha
 
How do you guys calculate the drop in height? The place I’m working with already has a small natural decline but I just don’t know how tall I should make it.

ill upload pics later
