I have doing a little milling with an alaskan mill using a fiberglass ladder (it sucks and not the most stable) I have a neighbor that can make me a square rail set up out of 1/8" square steel tubing and he will weld in supports every two feet with it being 12' total length for a dedicated rail ladder set up. Should be able to run 10' boards. Anything longer is not needed for my use and any logs bigger than that are to much trouble to move around my location.
Thoughts on how welding tabs so it can be screwed into log for support.
Also wondering how wide to make it if there is a more optimal width. My current rails are for up to I think 40" chainsaw bar. I was thinking total width 18-20" maybe wider. Thoughts?
Alum rails would be nice but the steel will be way more price reasonable.
