Ok so where do you think it is time to draw the line between a box and a rail? I've been noticing in a lot of pictures, a box that's half a foot, even to a foot wide be called a rail. So which is it people? Which is a box and a rail?

Yah.. It's all about the width. 4-6 inches and below falls into the rail category. Everything else is a box.

its what its made of. something thats 5 inches wide that has coping on the sides and lexan in the middle is going to be easier to slide than a flat piece of metal 5 inches wide. boxes are easier to stay on in my opinion.

^ That's a good way of looking at things... Hahaha. But no it doesn't really matter to some people on which is a box and which is a rail but we need more good ol' threads like these back on NS.
