Make freinds with someone who works in a metal shop. I'm sure they could fab you up a rail if you wanted.

if you look on the first page, at the wooden framed rails... the top sheet on one is the plastic wall of a shower and the other is a plastic gutter. the plywood, the couch is off the side of the road so i guess that doesn't count

I built some shit this summer and found just about everything i needed on the side of roads, or people redoing decks. See some construction going on go ask them if you can have the old stuff or even some of the scraps. You would be surprised at how much free stuff you can get. I even got half inch steel rod for the coping for free.

The only stuff I ended up spending money on is screws, and glue. Oh and i got a really big discount on a 15x10 outdoor carpet, paid like $30 for all of it. Its good to know people at flooring stores. Still considering picking up some new top sheet stuff (PVC) but i got some plexi glass for free and am just using it for now.


OP i would build the jump out of some wood at least half of the height you want so it wont take as much snow to get started.

get creative again
look for something tall about 4-5 feet or whatever you want
then look for something long to ride down on
you could always buy wood from home depot or something too but that would be expensive
