get a drop in cover it and the inrun in turf, build a pyc rail or just get two big pvc pipes, wet it down put some soap on it and ski.  and just seachbar plans and pics if you need help with ideas for rails.

Plastic lattice can be used on the roll in in place of astro turf/outdoor carpet, but you can't turn on it so make sure to put some carpet on the lip

thanks i can imagn sellys nomorenails wouldnt b the best option. by drilling up, your relying on the piping from not breaking if u fall on it or that could be painful? or do the pipes take a bit of a beating?
