I know there is allot of treads about this, but none of them answers my question!

How tall should a summer setup be?
How long should the "Down" be?
How long should the whole setup be, from lip to the back of the whole thing?

My rail is about 13 - 15 feet long.
K++ For help with mesurments and drawings! :D

this has everything you will need. you might need to join the cult first to view it though. but it has diagrams and everything.

Mine is 8 and a half feet and works awsome but i think 6 foot would be tAll enough. I have my down at a 45 degree angle and i think its tweleve feet long. Then i got a bottom section that makes less severe of an angle so u dont slam into the ground. I got a twelve foot pvc and it works awsome! Goodluck

6 feet high should be fine. Keep in mind the better you can make the trannys the more speed you will hold, and the less up you travel the more speed you will hold (like if you can make it so your jump on to a rail is only 6 inches to a 1foot and a half high you will lose less speed then if it was 3 feet high)

I think anything around 12 feet is perfect. My friend had one at his place that was 12 feet and it seemed to be just the right length. Although if you can go longer than do it for sure. You should also have your rail no higher than a foot and a half off the ground

How tall should a summer setup be? 7-13 feet
How long should the "Down" be? steep but not too steep
How long should the whole setup be, from lip to the back of the whole thing? use your brain dude, newschoolers isnt gonna make this for you.

Do you honestly think i tell you to build your rail 12 feet high... wow.

Dont just hit the pvc off the ground, get a stand. Youll be able to sciscor your switchups properly so your skis dont hit the ground

if your going to use astro turf make sure you have dish soap handy- it works like magic

i know you already saw the cult but..

About 6-8 feet
About 12-14 feet excluding the jump, maybe a little longer.
Not sure
And jump I'd say about 1 1/2 to 2 feet high.

if you want you can look in my pics, I built one with those kind of dimensions.

My drop in is 6 ft tall with a 10 ft run in and it gets me enough speed to hit a 15 ft rail so anything bigger than that will be good
