no. one long 12 foot beam. one 12 ft cut into 4 as cross supports. 3 8 ft. pvc pipes. one cut into 4 other upright supports. screw everything together or your gonna pull the pipes off easy.

screw from the bottom into the rail. use ones that wont penentrate the top of the pipe. the pink is regular home depot wood that we painted pink.
if you look at the rail its kinda self explanatory. like just make it as big as pleasing. cut supports (i have 5). drill them into the bottom of a long 12 ft. drill up into the upright beams that hold up the second level of the rail. drill up through a second 12 ft into the pvc. the drill that onto the standing up supports.
to christen it and make it work well, you have to poor a little colt 45 on it.
good?

dude pvc pipes on wood are sick and cheap. My friend has about 8 pvc rails that can be lined up into one big jib. To attach the pvc, you drill holes completely through a pipe, and screw it on the wood.
