4ft is pretty small. What kind of car do you have? If you can get a couple flat rails 8' plus that'd be a good start. Rails arent that heavy if you use 8th inch ish and don't skirt it. Also pvc is light enough even with the 2x4s.

2 flat rails are pretty versatile. 16' drop rail, 16' afrwme, 16, ebow, 16 aframe, etc. Coulw also build a 2 or 3 foot section as a nub to add into stuff for donkeya, mini battle feels. Or a longer one and could go z tube etc.

Not sure what youre trying to do, where youre setting them and how much time you have.

Also sometimes framed out rails with no skirting are wobbly even after they set up and a fresh set theyll be rocking. Good feet would be really helpful.

If feet get in the way if throwing it in or on the car maybe drill a hole in the bottom of the leg, and in a wide foot and throw the foot on woth a pin when youre setting it. Could be quick and give you more stability without having to have any extra weight on the sides. Wouod prolly have to weld a little t to rail legt jist above where the foot will sit so it doesnt rock. I feel like it could work.

Idk. I'm just thinking. Ive had raiks as big as 22 on my moms mini van growing up though. Friggin lawlessness.

Good luck, post pics and stuff. Love ghetto builds.

if there’s no rails u can still use twine and duct tape to secure two or theee pieces of pvc on top of ur car resting on blankets/ towels so as to not scratch ur paint

What do you mean about the pvc? Pvc cuts pretty buttery. Or the bigger sewer drain types? I've never cut anything bigger than like 4 inch pvc.

unless he just wants a bunch of waterfalls or short kinks the pvc should stay in large pueces

IDK why i cant edit my posts, but I just realised that if u drill through the pvc and 2x4s that u need u can run the twine through the holes and it will be secure AF. think i might do this when i set up a couple more features for my park later this week

15 feet of the widest pvc you can find never disappoints.

Maybe several 4 foot pieces of PVC that connect to each other. Idk how well it'd work but I was thinking:
Find a 2-foot piece of PVC with a diameter that fits snug inside the PVC used as the rail you'll be sliding on. With this, you can slip on another piece of PVC to extend the rail and maybe screw or glue the smaller diameter PVC into one of the rail PVC pieces.

Mini Kicker

rail jam

wallie walls

cut rails into 4 foot segments and then you can make elbows, drop downs or anything your heart desires
