Obviously welding one out of metal would be best but i just made a real simple one out of PVC and wood. Make your base out of wood, thats kinda simple so you should be able to do that, then attach your PVC pipes at the top. I made a double barrel out of PVC that was like 16 feet long so it was pretty easy.

Weld two bits of round long bits of steel together side by side, add some steel legs and put a flat base on those legs to burry it into the snow

if you want something cheap, the use PVC and wood. its fairly durable and won't make a hole in your pocket.

another would be to have a wooden base and a metal rod or pipe on top. this would make the rail fairly durable and would not require any welding.

just do a search on this topic cause there have been tons of other questions just like this one

good luck

depends on size. also, if you use pvc, make sure it isnt super cold because then it will break easier. fill it with sand too.2 pvc pipes would make it much smoother

they come in 8' lengths. it helps to fill it with sand and somehow cap the ends.also, 4 isnt really nessacary but better
