Any ideas on features to put into a backyard that are quick and easy . I read some past threads on backyard set ups but lack some of the tools for a proper build. I have a hand saw, hammer and old wood... that is about all the tools that are at my disposal. I tried to make a rail out of pvc and it is janky as fuck. It is very unstable and with a lot of weight wobbles a lot. I also have an old skate rail that scratches my bases and is slow. Any suggestions.

I go to college in sunny CA  and dont have any access to snow.

Getting ready for the season and need to take let lose

Ill build you a steel rail. Whatever design and specs you want. But I'm in Colorado.

Or find some 6 or 8 inch PVC pipe in schedule 40.

Buy yourself a cheap miter saw if you build things ever. Nobody wants to use a hand saw. I did build a rail with a hand saw like 12 years ago though. Shit sucks.

If you skate and ever want to build a mini or just build anything else for a backyard park like a drop in, other rails it's not bad to have. Being able to do precise angles makes framing rock solid.

As far as building it though, if you're doing a pvc rail build a jib is def the place to go as there are constantly people posting about what they're working on as well as several how to threads.
