I want to build a rail for my back yard and need some suggestions on building one. Like what is the best material to use are (metal, pvc pipe, ect.) ? If I use metal is there anything I need to do with it? Where can you get poly slide material that is used on boxes? I don’t get much snow where I live so is using Astroturf or carpet on a steep drop in a good alternative when there is no snow? By the way I have all the materials necessary to build the rail because I have a race shop with ever tool you can imagine. Thanks for the help !

the best way we found to build  a rail is to use pvc and find a piece of wood the same as the pipe you use. Have some friends help you hold the rail tightly to the wood while you drill holes in the pipe and the wood then come back through and drill in screws make sure the screws you use are long enough to make it through the wood and the pipe.
