but if you really wan to get into detail, the best of the best wood, its cedar. it's strong, it doesn't rot very fast, nad smels damn good.

plus its Dangerous Dan's favourite building materials for stunts in B.C.

pvc makes nice rails but boxes are a bitch because they take so much maaterial. we made ours out of standard plywood...dont do that...it workd but we melted some slidy shit on it...dont do that either...plexi with coping is the dopest but good luck to ya.

For rails::

ur post about how to build a rail... really easy, make the bottom 2x4 and the supports that touch the ground our of pressure treated lumber, everything else can be normal 2x4s... use pvc and make it shot gun with 2 2in pieces or 4 1/4 tubes. Make the holes on top bigger with a larger bit so the heads of the screws are hidden inside the piping... use screws all through out


for boxes, draw up the design and use masonite, plexi or lexan on top
