Hi guys...

Thanks for the help, but I'm still a bit confused..

I've tried both methods. I tried making a ladder using two cylinders, and the thin rectangular polygons as the connecting bars. Then when I combined them, and applied a twist deformer, the cylinders became very thin in the middle, and the connecting bars fell out of place.. as in the attached pic.

Can you please give me some more detail..
I'd really appreciate it...

Thanks!!
