Let's Talk Rock Rails
(Preview)
If you were to build you own, what would your specs be?
2x2 or 2x3 rails?
3/16" or 1/4" wall thickness?
Would they be tucked under or have an edge to step on if needed?
I don't know... Just tell me how you would build them.
Please explain why you would pick one design over the other.
