Snowboarding box rail?

Question

I'm wanting to build a box rail in my yard since the nearest terrain park is a 2 hour drive from where i live. now that i know what to make it out of I'm good with that, but does anyone know were to get HDPE and how much it costs? How steep should the run up/hill be? Also, i will probably put a small jump at the end of the run.

Answer 1

If you ask at Home Depot, they will say they don't have any HDPE (high density poly ethelene). But they do have a product made from recycled HDPE - it is those composite "decking boards" like Trex and the other brands that make plastic lumber that is used to make decks. It is usually mixed with other materials (like wood) but may work.

If you want some plain white HDPE look for a plastic supply store in the phone book - you might be surprised.

Good Luck
