Hello ns, I know this is the millionth summer setup/ backyard setup thread but I was wondering what pvc rail I should build next. I have an A-Frame and a flat rail. I have a relatively flat yard so down rails would be hard.

Elbow and z. Or elbow and a flat rail so you can set up the z both ways.

How would you build a rainbow? Is there a plan or would I just have to wing it?

I would cut the edges out of ply 4-6 inches tall. Two identical rainbows on the edge. Then run 2x4s between not spaced too terribly far so it doesn't crack. Maybe every foot just to be safe and 2x4s are cheap. Could make it more rail or box depending on width.

Then just bend each piece of tubing and screw it in place.

Never build one but that's how id attempt rainbows kickers etx.
