How about a 6-7 foot trussed bridge top(like an extension ladder),(no lower structure) that can be used from the ground to the rocks or one rock pile to the other, inside or out. How about some start/finish arches or gates for use from carpet starts.

Default Slide rails...

I had left some 6' or so lengths of uni-strut over at the old place just for that application, not sure if they made the trip to his new spot.

I'm sure we got some more if it fills the bill...

I have some big branches(nice size logs when cut) I need to cut up in my backyard and some 1" tubing I can give. I may have some small scrap steel too but it probably isn't very useful. Can I just drop it off somewhere behind Dan's sometime this weekend? I may go and pratice on Sunday so I can swing it by then.

Any idea on the length of the logs you want or should I just cut them into 8'-10' lengths so you can decide? The tubing is about 10' long with a very large radius bend in it with about 6' of straight tubing.

Hey bro im coming over dans today to work on scale stuff. Lets make sure we on the same page. Im buying old tires and broke parts from dan to start the junk yard run in scale area... Buying his old parts to use as cool obsticals Thru trails is a good idea to keep money in his shop for his bills..
