Replying to cheap rail making
there has been alot of questions about how to make rails latley. well i have the perfect solution. go to your hardware store and buy 2 pieces of angle iron, any length depending on how long you want it. then buy about 3 8 foot, 4x4's (made of wood for you not smart kids). then buy a box of 2 inch wood screws. and 6 8 inch wood bolts.
ok heres how you make it:
cut all of the 4x4's in half so you have 6 4 foot pieces. then screw 2 pieces of woof together formoing a T shape, using the 8 inch bolts. then repeat with the rest of the boards. so now you have 3 legs. then measure your angle iron into thirds, and drill 2 holes into the side of the angle iron and where each third starts. then use the screws to screw the legs to the angle iron, using the drilled holes. so now yo have 3 legs, with a pieces of angle iron on each side, and with about an inch gap between the pieces of iron. it sits about 4 feet 4 inches high with 3, 2 foot legs on each side. its a pretty sturdy setup. you can also make it shorter but if you want to go higher i would advise you to make the legs wider. but this is the most cost effecient way to do it so yer not waisting anything. so i hope this helps and stops al these posts about making rails. this is also not very spendy.
