I was riding the rail i built and after about 3 hours the leg tore off. Its a pvc pipe screwed on to wood. I used washers but is there any way to prevent this? Thanks

More details please, I like helping people but not when I am suffering from a raging headache and a lack of information.

LOL i see how, dude you have to build a acthual frame for the rail, all you have is just legs underneath the pvc hold with nails? take time to build this so it's strong and put supports in. or you can build a whole new thing and just follow my plans https://newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/270477/
