Backyard Jibs

I'm thinking of making 3 different jibs for my backyard this season. I want two different types of rails, but I'm not sure which to make. I'm thinking a long flat single tube to practice as handrails, or just for a long flat to work on sw-ups or w/e. I am also thinking of a flat bar rail that will either be kinked or flat, or even angled to lead into from my single tube rail. Lastly, I'm going to build two 10ft long boxes that will be interchangable as one big long flat, or a flat down, or w/e I decide to build it as. I'm looking to get them made really well, with wood skirting, and as much welded parts as possible (better quality). How much do you think this will cost to do? Any suggestions?

Also, if you guys have any ideas of similar things I can build, I'm open to w/e you have to say. I have plenty of room in my backyard for one, or two features at a time.

^^ ehh i wouldnt be to suprised if it reached 500-600 if you want them welded and your not doing it yourself. i made 2 boxes and 1 rail probaly would have costed me 250-300 if i didnt have most of the wood and suplies allready. but the HDPE for the boxes was like 70 bucks.
