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.

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
