I just acquired a 21 foot long 2.5" steel rail, and Im not sure if this helps, but the way I built a stand for it was by taking sections of 3" pvc, cutting them in half, sort of like how you would cut a donut, and then I screwed the two halves into 2x4's like a smilie face, put those pieces into the ground and let the rail sit on top of that.
Because in your case it would be pvc on pvc, you could use sandpaper in between the two layers?
