I need help building a summer PVC setup. I have seen so many threads on summer setups but I don't have much experience on rails. What would be best for a beginner on rails? Flat bar? PVC? Hand rail? I see most people have their in run 6ft tall, Will that be good for someone who is inexperienced on rails?

I have seen these tutorials. What looks best if any?

That’s what I did but I ended up taking off the bottom part. The height is a lot for a beginner.

I think thats the plan then. Im also thinking taking the ramp from this: https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/471848/TUTORIAL--How-to-build-a-summer-setup and stick it onto the Andy Parry flat rail.

Thnaks for the help :)

Get a tube if u can. The wider the better. Will slide like a box but a little bit more intimidating

I was thinking of just cutting a tube in half and laying it on the ground, good thinking of getting a wide tube.

As long as the tube is wide enough. You don't want to catch your tails or your noses on the ground
