i have 4 pvc pipes, they're 15ft long each. so im gonna build a rail, but i dont think i'll build it 15ft long and use all the 4 pipes to make it extra wide. i'll build it maybe 10ft long and use 2 pipes...

now my question is how tall has to be the inrun for a 10ft long rail? the rail wont be that high, i think just 1ft or so...

as you see above i made a little 3d Sketch of the inrun...
im gonna use turf as surface and put snowfence on the turf too!

what do you think and what advices can you give me?

thanks for the answers!

(sorry my english is not that good)

id build 15ft rails cause 10 will be shorter then you think....... but for a 10-15ft rail go like 8ft high then just test different angles of the slope down to make it faster or slower

put triangles in your drop in.. like, 2x4s or 2x6s going from corner to corner.. other wise that drop in will be real wobbly

you will probably need diagonals on your drop in to make it sturdier. just look at the pictures of everyone elses drop ins.

I would suggest to make the flat part after the drop alot shorter, you lose speed really fast on flat.

oh yes i almost forgot the diagonals!
the flat part wouldn't be fix so i can adjust it to the speed i need...
isn't it gnarly to jib a rail with an inrun without any snow?
