no hes defineatly right, if you put rails on the side there would be no buttering, use pvc edges if you want something on the side.

plexiglass does work.... and i would just screw it on, exept counter sink the screws (meaing make a lil crater with a countersinking bit, then screw the screws in that way they are below the surface.

drill first to countersink the screws or plexi will crack same with lexan ect. It is fiberous and interconnected so drill your shit. No sides are good make it look like a wide flat rail I have yet to see many butters in backyard video just make something and then spend your time on something else because one jib is boring

i glued mine with special lexan polycarbonate glue. def put reails on the sides pvc rails are fine and stick a wooden dowel into then. believe me its worth it you put them in so the top of the rail is at the same height as the surface. you can prop the box up use it as a wallride, slide down on the rail only much harder and it looks cooler, you can do alot with it and its easy.
