alright so i have a 14 foot galvanized steel pipe
i was thinking of getting a bigger pvc pipe to act as a sleeve so that it remains durable while sliding better. but i have never slid on pvc. so what slides better>

when its warm out (summer) metal gets real fucking sticky. that being said it really depends if this is a summer rail or winter rail or both. if its just winter make it a metal rail but if your finna use it in the summer use PVC. personally i really like the way pvc slides, its just a little different but really easy to get used to. plus it hurts less to fall on than metal

also, your edges will last much longer with a pvc rail; rather than hitting a metal rail countless times on your setup.
