ive done a ton of sketching up on a ton of different designs, and finally nailed it down to the cheapest and what i believe is sturdiest. my plans are to make it as follows:
height- well at the moment there will be 16" (4x4) beams
i was first wondering if this would work, and be strong enough
now the important view, atleast to me haha
alright so here you have my rail
represented in the colors
orange- 2x6, 24" long for cross, side to side support
maroon- 4x4, 16" tall for mail support
poop green- 2x4, runs length of rail with the pvc screwed in to it from the bottom
pink/blue- 1/2" particle board, the pink sections are in 2 seprate sections for more support and because the green(main 2x4 running the length of the rail) will not be physically screwed into the maroon supports, but connected to them through screwing the top pink particle wood to the 2x4(green) and to the 4x4(maroon)
the bottom pink particle wood is to brace all the legs together to give it length strength so it doesnt bend or dip in between the supports
the blue one is gonna be a cover and way of putting a full wood siding on the entire thing, it will be the lenth of the rail and make it have a full plated siding,
the reasoning for the use of the top pink boarding is so that if the pvc does chip instead of pulling all the boards of and that crap, all you do is unscrew the top pink from the green and maroon, and lift out the green board(attached to the pvc) for and easier fix
finally hoping to put a 14" section in the middle to provide extra support the connection
any suggestions, commentts? and also how to make the pvc run together smoothly?
thanks
