Hitching rail 10 ft — 3D model in WeldCanvas

Hitching rail 10 ft

One-bar hitching rail: 2" schedule 40 pipe posts set 4' deep in concrete, with a 1-1/2" schedule 40 pipe rail coped between them, top of rail at 42" (the usual tie height). Posts stand 2" above the rail; cap them. One bar only, so a horse can't get a leg caught. Tie with a quick-release knot or a breakaway loop.

Steel you'll need

  • 1-1/2" pipe, sch 40 (1.900" OD)1 piece
  • 2" pipe, sch 40 (2.375" OD)2 pieces

Also buy

  • 4 bags of concrete
  • 2 pipe caps for 2" pipe (post tops)
  • Tie rings (optional)

What the plan includes

  • A cut sheet: every piece drawn to scale with tip-to-tip length and the saw setting for each end
  • A shopping list and a cutting plan that gets every piece from the fewest sticks
  • Build steps: what to tack first, how to check square, and a weld order that keeps it straight
  • A 3D model you can resize — change a size and the cut list follows
Safety note. Set the posts deep in concrete: a horse that pulls back puts a big load on the rail.
