alright this is pretty much the ghettoest thing i could think of but under 50 bucks. Materials: 6" PVC pipe(25-20 ft.), 3-3" pieces, sledgehammer. Cut 3 3" holes in the bottom of the 6" equally spread apart. Then hammer then 3" pieces into the ground, and setting the 6 inch on top. The 3" holes would be atleast 5 feet apart. any input, any of u guys tried this? i was bored in school today so what the hell. Confused

That PVC pipe flexes too much for that to work very well. It may work, but will bow like hell in between the supports. And if it does break, then the 6" PVC will impale you Yikes

do this. we just made a rail out of 2x4's and pvc

we got two 4" pipes and put them together. on the bottom of the pvc we made a 4-sided box made out of 2x4's.

works very well once you hammer the sticks into the mud. the mud at the lake i goto is very boggy so it goes right in. it takes 5 minutes to set up.

letme draw an image
