build a 2x4 frame, use supports every 3ft. Depending on the length, use metal brackets to connect the 2x4's. Once the frame is built put either four 1/2 inch PVC pipes across or 2 PVC pipes like a shotgun. Use screws!! make angled supports going from the bottom board to the vertical supports

Don't use PVC. They don't feel like normal rails like the ones you'll find at your local hill.

pvc is fine man. it works great. it doesnt feel the same, but you can get really good on rails with pvc over the summer.

pvc seems to be a bit faster and slipperier than metal and harder to keep your skis right on it, but its soo much cheaper

you are officially getting searchbarred by a noob. i, a noob am even sick of people not using the searchbar, and there are even homemade rail threads a little lower on this page.
