Okay so basically I want a set up in my back yard to get my rail game on lock, but the thing is im lazy and broke. Do you guys know of any places where I could find a 1' (ish) diameter pvc pipe or like a corrugated tube or something? I just want something that I dont actually have to build and could either find for cheap/steal.

use the search bar the amount of these threads there has been is endless.
and you should just save up a few bucks (that means a week off of weed) and buy a pipe somewhere at a hardware store easy and simple

Legally: Try home hardware, Rona or any building center like that. You may not find PVC but you'll still probably find piping.

Illegally. Check a city near you for construction sites. They usually have some perfect piping. I've seen PVC at them before.

Don't go with PVC. I have 8 steel rails in my backyard setup. Pickup some scrap steel, keep your eyes out for it. Building them isn't that hard and it's is definitely worth it in the end. If you build more than one you can make flat-downs, A-frames etc.

What's he going to build it with if he has no loot? PVC is at least retardedly cheap. I mean PVC and some 2x4s is not hard to come by and good for backyard shenanigans. That said I have a bunch of uncut tubes and a few pvc rails chilling in my garage that have been there for almost a decade untouched.

Metal is def better but pvc isn't bad at all for backyard, especially on a budget. Also you can make flat downs, aframes etc with pvs.

Nice thing with pvc is it's easy to cut, easy to drill, easy to secure. Unless op has some tools for dem there steel rails he's probably better with pvc.

you can get 4 pvc pipes of 1' diameter from home depot for around 15 bucks to make a box, each pipe is only around 3 bucks, the 2.5' diameter ones are about 4.50 i think, ive made 3 boxes now out of pvc pipe cuz its so cheap

Got for a hike in the woods and you will be suprised what you will find.

I have a 13' flat log rail (free), 12' rainbow log (free), 7' pole jam (free dumpster find at work), 13' metal flat rail (free dumpster find at work), and a blue barrel (free dumpster find at work)

If you wanna be thrifty its easy just put your mind to work and you can make anything.
