so my dad got me 3, 20ft. metal pipes from his worksite, they were used as handrails, but don't have the base/stands attached anymore, what are some ideas for how to make a dope rail? how can i make these handrails have supports and go into the ground and stuff, like how can i attach it to the wood 2x4's? i don't know how to weld and i can't concrete the thing in the ground, thanks for the help

I think welding might be your only option, so find someone you know who will weld you some supports

What i do is make supports out of wood and attach pvc that i ripped in half. The rail then just sits in the pvc. I use a zip tie in the begging so the pipe doesent slide down the pvc, but you dont even really need this. It sounds sketchy but it actully works good.
