good with wood?

K im building a snowboard rail this weekend with my brother. Using HDPE for the sliding surface. its 2x2x7ft so it will fit in the bed of my truck.

Here is a model i built in solidworks, its all one piece but imagine it build out of pressure treated 2x4's

Is it a little bit over built? Im not experience with structural strength (its what im learning now)

what do you guys think?

gotta love CAD programs and EGR
