How to Build a skateboard rail

Having your own grind rail to practice skateboarding on at home is a great idea. You can store it in your garage, and pull it out when you want to use it.

A lot of skaters just buy pre-made grind rails. These are great, but they can cost a bit and aren't always exactly what you might want. Building your own grind rail is a lot easier you might think!

What you need to build it;
1.One 6.5 foot long piece of rectangular steel
2.Two pieces of 2 foot long square steel
3.Two pieces of 3 inch flat steel that are a foot or more long

That's all the materials you'll need - so you can see this isn't going to cost that much at all!

Next you need to figure out how you are going to weld the rail together. If you or your kids are students, you might be able to use the tools in your school's metal working class. Just ask the teacher. They can also help you with making sure you do the welding part correctly.
You can weld it together yourself, but if you've never done it before, then you'll need to learn how.
