Building a rail

i just got back from home depot last night with all the materials. I got 3 sawhorse brackets and mounted a 10 foot 2x4 with 3 half-inch(inner diamter)pvc tubes on top. Countersink the 2x4 to the sawhorse bracket before you put the rail on. screw the tubes from the bottom of th 2by4. Then attach 2 legs in each bracket, with each pair being attached with plywood or 2x4, that can be nailed into the ground with a stake.

if you cut the pvc the long way it gives you extra material. brace the inside with 2x4s ripped to fill as much sapce as possible (pvc breaks in the cold) and countersink structural screw in fomr the side. you can mount the rail on a plank or somehting and have a good portable setup

For my PVC rails, if you have the recourses to do this you should, but I took a bandsaw, and where my pvc would go on the 2 by 4 i cut so that the edges of the PVC would fit into the wood, that way I could screw in sideways and it would be way more structurally sound.

for structure I did 4 by 4 planks going down, three of them every 3.3 feet, with 2 by 2 wood triangulating between the 4 by 4s. then you probly want to put feet like wood underneith the 4 by 4s so get some 6 by 2 or something flat that will make your rail keep upright.

^Oh and i cut my pvc lengthwise also.
