PVC On Box

Ive used both 1 1/2" and 1 1/4" pvc on the boxes that ive built and out of the two i would probably use the 1 1/4" pvc again if i were to build another box. mine is around 10 inches wide and i used 4 pipes with spaces inbetween them which works out well aslong as you screw them down around everfoot. i would def go with 1 1/4" or even just 1" pvc and screw it down around every foot maybe everyfoot and a half. if you do it will stay real solid.

you can get caught in the spaces when your spinning but its not that big of a deal especially when you have your feet a little wider apart. as long as you commit to the spin you usually dont get hung up and its not a problem. over the summer i was using my pvc box for sessions and doing disco spins or whatever you want to call them was not that hard especially after getting used to the pvc because you figure out how to keep your skis real flat against the piping so that when you do go parallel with the rail your skis just glide right over it. you'll be fine with it go have fun

thanks so much that was really helpful

how big should the gaps in between the pvc be?

mine were probably around 2 inches apart but you dont have to be real precise, just make sure your spaces are equal so everything wears evenly and it looks nice haha.

this is a pic of my box its not the best picture but its all i have right now. you can kind of see the spacing and what yours will look like

I have 2 of these boxes now just like the same setup your going to make... if you want i can take some pics for you tomorrow once its light out just let me know.....

woops hopefully that works if not just click the link

just a heads up, pvc only comes in 10 ft, not 8, so for every pvc pipe you buy, you''ll have 2 feet left over (and you cant really use it for another section to slide on). i still havent found a good use for them yet either

yeah, at least PVC is not really really expensive though

I buy twenty foot sections :)
