Hi i new hear, i mostly read stuff. I was just wondering, while your on the subject, has anybody tried canoe for a box or rail? My dad use to work at Old Town Canoe so i have a bunch of somewhat high density platics laying around. Thanks for the help.

The plastics may slide well, not sure about the shape of a canoe though?

depending on the hardness of it, it may work well, just countersink the screws so you wont catch any edges. Alotta resorts use lexan and HDPE which is a high density plastic, i think cutting boards are also the same material

i dont have pics cause i dont feel like moving them outside to get pics. but i have a 18 ft flat metal bar 2 ten foot pvc rails soon to be 3. a 12 ft box thats pretty high and wide a 20ft round flat down and very soon a 23 ft c-box wooooo. they dont look as perfect as the two flat boxes but thats cause we didnt wanna spend the extra cash on paint and plywood for the sides. the c-box we may spring for it. once i set up my rail park ill post some pics. ohhh and were do people here host their pics? like what site? cause i know how to link pics but jsut need a host site to put em on. thanks
