Plastic lattice on ski box

I'm making a backyard setup this year. I will have a couple rails and would also like a box but hdpe and lexan are too expensive. Will plastic lattice with pvc pipe coping work? If not, what will?

Yeah for real just make a rail... double, triple or even quad barrel rail if you really want something wider

i made a box out of just 1.5'' pvc and then a rail out of 2' pvc. not sure how the lattice comes into play but with pressure treated lumber and pvc you should be fine.

Get a bunch of smaller diameter pvc tubes Under 2". Put them together as wide as you want your "box". Don't do it with lattice, not a great sliding surface.
I wouldn't worry about pressure treated. I'd just get regular lumber and paint it if you're worried about the longevity.
