you dont even need blueprints. i made a banana box that doubles as a curved ledge completely freehand.
I'm on the vital legit list!

Start out with a box and get a rail later on, both are super fun. Boxes are good for a lot of tricks but theres some stuff you can't do like crooks, over grinds etc, so a rail is nice for that. Boxes are pretty simple to make, just youtube bmx grind box and theres a good tutorial. Rails you will either have to buy pre made or get somebody who can weld.

If you have to ask I'd say a ledge. They can be used more widely than a rail.
But personally I'd build a rail. Rail grinds feel nice than ledge
I'm a punk bmxer, I can't do it well so I do it loud.

Or lay a 2X4 flat, and put 1x1 angle on each side of it making a legit flat rail.
