update on rail:
we drove two wood planks into the ground and the rail is gona be 16 ft long.
i hit it at 11 ft(currently is what it is now) its pretty short but i hit it late as well. the extra five feet should make a diff. we are proly gonna get somthin to put on top soon but the wood works alright... _________________ News Reporter: "What would you say to all the other kids looking to throw a party while their parents were away?"

the last pic is the 11 ft small old peice the top 3 are the new longer peice which we hit today and its fine (even tho its not attatched to the bases, were attatching them on tho this weekend with some long screws (we also added 1 more support to make it a lil sturdier) |

Ok, that makes more sense
I thought you were putting them on the tubes and hitting them
Trex slides a lot better than bare wood. Get some! _________________ √ |
