hahahah my bad guys, but the rail is suck a good design and im actually looking at building it this weekend, ya i dunno i think it shouldnt be a problem being one piece wide, Gnarly Dancer 42, is it worth spending the money on making it wider/ride on???????? o and i can hit rails on my skateboard, nothing like handrails but like a 2 foot flat bar and stuff i can hit

i think you're best bet is to just build the simple flat rail and if you want, pound one side in a little further than the other to have a little bit of an incline.

if you did that you could have a ride on without any modifactions


as far as making it wider, i dont think you need to, but if you want to just buy the top board 2wice as wide and buy 2 pieces of trexx

MrMarbles, Cool

What do you have on your drill, a plastic bag? Laughing

It's easier if you drill them in before you get the posts all the way in, do it when there's about a foot left, then pound them the rest of the way in.


lookin good

Yea nick, I read that step about the pounding in later. Actually its a few ziploc bags and a publix bag duct taped on the drill. That's how we roll in Polk County.

i built one today w/ my friends. i used 1.5" poles and flanges from home depot. we hammered the 10' poles in, screwed in the wood/fiberon, and hammered it down just a little more so that it's a perfect ollie height. we've got the 10 footers in about chest high water and i'm 5'7. this rail setup really lets any moron have a rail, including myself

Not good being over this side of the pond, did a little reasearch and found that due to demand in the US trex no longer export.

Its all going on nicks rail design!!!!! Smash

Gonna have to do some research and find a substitute.
