Really sick, where do you get pvc pipes for cheap? I'm guessing a hardware store right?

pvc is pretty cheap in general, just go to home depot or something.

that looks dank. you might want to add supports on all the horizontal legs though, it will be more stable.

Looks very similar to the rail I will be building, actually Im going to use yours for reference. Except I may make it wider to make it more like a box type deal.

How well does PVC pipe slide?  Is it nice and smooth like a good rail?  Or more like a box?
