Floating rails

I ride on a lake where it is to deep to mount a rail to the bottom. What would you say is the best thing to use for flotation.(barrels, foam,ect.).

My friend and I have been building a rail for a couple days and we put three of those blue plastic barrels under it to make it float. We haven't gotten it in the water yet but I think it's going to float really well.

how are you planning on keeping it in place? wont it just slide and twist around on the water?

I used to work at a car wash, they get the soap in big 55gallon barrels. It was a full service car wash. There was always someone wanting to buy them, so you gotta get on it. happy barrel hunting!!

Well I live in a hick farm town so I just went to some house that I saw them at and they gave us some barrels. We're just going to use about 5 anchors to keep it in place.
