We have a setup and it works the only bad part is that we can't figure out a good way to get the pvc pipe like a foot or so off the ground. Please help

Ha. When I was like 13 I used to just make a big pile of snow (about the same shape as rail) then I'd put the piece of metal (in your case PVC) and pour water around it so it would freeze in place. Falls out sometimes but it did the trick for me.

That's funny, I did the same thing one time, except with a scrap piece of PVC laying around the house.

my bad. for some reason I thought you wanted to put your summer rail in snow. Been a long day with school.

What I did for my summer set up was I drilled my PVC to a 2x4 and made two legs and staked them into the ground. Worked like a charm, super stable
