WE have a post a pic of your rail. Now that the seasons coming to a close lets get a "POST A PIC OF YOUR DROP IN" thread. This will also help with all the repetative threads on drop in plans. I dont have on yet so post away.

well the one on the top is very sketchy, looks like it will fall down with the wind. you could drill some holes into the wood, and drive stakes down into the dirt, only if it's packy enough though. the bottom one is a lot better, just put some snowfence or some turf down on that. even a tarp with water and soap will work

if your trying to make the wood from the swingset stay on top of the dirt i would wet dwn the dirt than pack that in. then i would add a couple like, 4x4's under it then add a board on each side at and angle to stop it from falling over.

then for and in-run you could get like, 6 pallets which are free and have them held up by like, 2x4s pr whatever you want to use. then just cover in in turf and/or snowfence

I have a hill similar to that in my backyard. I'm wondering, should I build a drop or just put astro turf leading down the hill. It's a hill definitely steep enough to get speed. Does your hill work good?

you'll get more speed if you put it on plywood or crates like that.
