Help With A New Rail

you could make it like the left one:



but you need atleast three 8' 2x4...

you should find more wood, it might help a bit.

I can get all the wood i need if you wanna tell me how to make that exactly, much love would be given

Use right angle hurricane ties for the legs.



These will make it really sturdy and also make sure that everything is square. Sold at Home depot, Lowes, etc.

pic doesn't work for me, but i got it attached to the 2x4, I might just use some liquid nails or something along the sides to secure it more

Something seems to be wrong with picture embedding right now. Hurricane ties are metal brackets that that you can use to fasten wood together and it makes the joint stronger than if you just use nails, screws or adhesive. If you go to Home Depot, go to the hardware aisle and you will find them or ask someone where their hurricane ties are. You should get L brackets. They have pre-drilled holes. Even if you have already attached the boards together, trust me, you will want to pick up 8 of these and use 1 1/4 inch wood screws to fasten to where the base of the legs is and where the leg connects to the board that your pvc is attached to. You may be able to use a different type of hurricane tie where the leg meets the rail. They make one to attach studs to the floor for framing. It is like a sleeve that you slip a 2 x 4 into and then sink screws into the 2 x 4 from the sides and into the floor. This isn't quite it, but it's similar:



If you find this in Home Depot or Lowes, you will find other brackets that might work better. Good luck.

Thanks man i'll definitly check those out, I finally sturdied it all up by putting little blocks of wood on each side of the ends and screwing them into the pvc. Kinda hard to explain but it looks like this kinda like this




the arrow pointing to what i'm talking about, can't wait to try it out today, once this oxycodon wears off and i can actually think straight. Fuck wisdom teeth

I'm not really liken the lives of wood on the side. Is that to drawing to scale with the size? It looks like you have to be right on top, or nothing at all. Do you have a table saw? I think it might be fun/easier if the side walls where smaller. If you don't have a table saw, can you make the wood into an H shape instide of a U shape? So there's not so much wood on the side. Like right now the PVC is sitting at the bottom of the U shape.
