I looked into it. I can't remember the exact size but it turned out to be about a 10 foot rail that was around a couple grand. So we made one out of pvc and it is just fine.

Didnt any of you guys have shop class in high school or a dad to teach you how to weld. Just go to the junk yard, buy some metal and make your own.

I think it's $35 per foot counting the width and everything. Seems otherwise it'd be way too high

yeah, I dont think that he added that in. Just the length. I am too lazy to do the math right now.
