nothing fancy but very easy to set up.

went to home depot and got everything then worked on it for maybe 2 hours.
It's not quite done yet. I still need to glue the tileboard on the wood and I'll be done, should be a fun rail!

here's a few pics of the 'almost' finished project:

Some will say it won't hold up. Last summer I had the same rail but PVC on top instead of tileboard and it worked just fine.

Let me know what you think!

I'm going to cut two pieces of the tileboard and double layer it.

I'm not too good of a handy man so I'm not sure what you're talking about with the fiberon stuff, sorry=[

fiberon is the decking material the professional builders use on their rails. i heard home depot sells it. you'r set up looks good and solid. sure it will be fun as hell too. Cool

THATS SWEEEEEEEEETTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinkin about doin the same thing, except using cement filled tires that had a 1 foot pole stickin out it then just building somethin like that that would fit over longer poles. I really efed that explanation up but its basically what u where shootin for, no doubt that it would be sturdy though Razz

mario c., i decided to use synthetic wood for the top instead of the tileboard but now i'm going to check out the fiberon when i go look at the synthetic wood and if it's around the same price i'll grab some.

i wasn't sure what to do about the surface since this was my first rail i built.

integrity640, thanks bro!
