Replying to Official Wood and PVC rail thread
I've seen a lot of'backyard park' posts lately... so instead of retyping this everytime::
Start by making the bottom 2x4 and the supports that touch the ground our of pressure treated lumber, everything else can be normal 2x4s...
Vertical supports every 3ish feet
PVC - 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.
It doesn't matter how long the PVC piece is as long as it is held in with the screws every 2 or so feet and at the ends. Kinks are fine too, just make sure the pvc on the down part is below the flat so you don't get hung up on it.
Hope this helps
