I'm making a rail for my backyard. I was thinking of using wood for the frame, then pvc pipes on top. It needs to be very sturdy. Anybody got any ideas on making one? Thanks

just get a fat pvc pipe and build it like this this is the rail---> O

this is badly done but i don't really care cause you should be able to figure it out but make little side supports and then the bottom part and then just build it higher and leg support. if that makes any sense

That doesn't look to sturdy. Couldn't it tip pretty easily?

No it won't tip over unless you fall into it or something

I've made one with a wooden frame and the one problem with it was that it wasn't laterally strong enough. So I'd recommend putting some good side supports on it.
