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

naw man its not over built i would just spread the middle three out a little further apart and make them all the same distance from each other
