I finally got around to welding my rails, I did 90% of the welding and cutting, and Scott and David painted 1 of them and welded one leg.

It's a 22ft flat rail with a little 2ft kink thing at the beginning and a 24 foot flat down flat rail. The Flat rail is 2.5 feet of the ground and the F-D-F rail is 3 feet at the top and 1 at the bottom with a 15 degree angle.

I got the metal from Industrial Metals in Red Deer and I welded it with a $150 garage sale arc welder that we've had forever.

If you bought the metal you could use our welder, but you'd probably have to weld it at our house unless you have one of those really big power plugins. Also, princess auto will get you an arc welder for 100 bucks.

Whenever we get snow I'll get all you guys over to my house, you can only come if you bring me something fricken' tasty to eat though.

I did the entire thing myself so I guess I'm pretty good at welding. I'm nowhere near as good as Taylors dad would be but I get the job done and the rails are really sturdy.

Or maybe it adds more fun? Why don't you stop combing your mustache and getting tickled by your daddies beard and go try it?

I'm not saying it's a good idea, I'm just saying you should try something before you hate on it.

I cut them with a chop saw. But at industrial metals they'll cut it for you if you don't have a saw. I want to go to Canyon and ask them if they'll pay for the metal then I'll weld some rails for free.
