just build your own rail/box, cheaper and you can customize it, most of those rails u get for skating online are 6-8ft not so sick on skis

just mount it on a 2x4 or something, throw some screws up through the wood into the bottom of the metal, i'm guessing that's your cheapest option, rails online can be pretty pricey...

PVC is much easier but metal will last longer. I suggest using pvc

Making pvc rails is so easy. I am sure you know the basc idea behind them. Even if they do break, you can just buy more, it is not expensive at all and it is easy to replace.

yeah a pvc rail is really simple, the metal might be a put harder and include getting some new drill bits and instead on using screws, you might wanna use nuts and bolts, but my favorite option is using HDPE and making a box
