Building a slider.

So, I found a set of instructions on how to build a slider, but I'm not sure how well this will actually work out. Does anyone know of any other slider plans? The plans I have are for a half rainbow slider, and here they are.

Where did you get the 55 gallon drums from? And how much did they cost?

aaron that rail looks great. How long is it and what are the angles on the incline and decline of it. I would love to build one similar to that and have the resources to do so but our last attempt was only a 16 ft. rail and left a lot to be desired ( although it was very portable and came in handy for winching we would like to have a setup like that.) It would be awesome if you could give me some specs. on that bad boy. Thank you

i would love to build a rail like that, but with the way my lake has been developing, and the overwhelming a-holeness of AEP, the company that owns the lake, I'd never be able to get it approved to put in... Which is a shame...
