1.25" sched. 40 rail I just finished up. It's been a while since i've poked my head around here. Happy New Year!

Nice job! Did you build it in place? I see several challenges there.

[theguapo]

yup built on site. it was a bot tricky in places but it came out great.

Just digging post holes could be tricky.

[theguapo]

the ground is so hard and so full of rocks there! sched. 40 comes in 21' lengths so I placed the posts every 7'. it took about 10 hours once the posts were set.

How deep did you set the posts?
It looks like you could have gone a little shallow having the whole thing tied together end to end like you do, but I wonder.
Thanks

[theguapo]

the terminal posts are ~ 30" and the line posts are 22-24".

I like it. Whereabouts are you? I see a little snow.

This house is in Santa Fe, NM. I live in Rio Rancho, NM about 40 miles away. Supposed to be 50 deg today!

Never been to New Mexico. With all the rock in the soil you should have a good, firm footing.

it was a huge pain in the @ss digging the post holes! too many rocks!
