yea listen to ewoks on this
and join build a jib cult
but 8 foot tall dropin if you your on flat ground, or around there, then do the drop part as stairs wrapped in astro, and then you could make this rail that i made last weekend
its on the bottom right, its a shotgun pvc, 2 -10ft sections, we bought everything for it for only $60, split with a friend and thats good
4x4 by 15inch as the support, 1.25" pvc, (370 psi), ply wood on the sides (2 sheets of 4x8xwhatever is about $12), 2x6x10 (2) for the 24inch cross footings on the bottom, and about 3 boxes of screws, typically go about 2.5 inches in my opinion, also we just set the 2 pvc barrels onto a 2x4 and screwed diagnoally fromt he bottom works fine
the other rail you see that is metal and red is an old ohio freestyle rail
anyquestions, just got build-a-jib-101
