You mean something like this? Maybe a bit heavier gage though?

Yes, works well can be disassembled easily and stored.
Makes it a lot easier than working around a trailer.
Jack stands and wood blocks just incase

Looks like three 2x6s for the columns what did you use for the top beam?

Mike
I used 2x4 square metal channel.

Tried 4x4s first on both uprights and cross beam but they bowed to much. Went with the 2x6+3/4 ply for the uprights and the channel for the beam and that worked great.

You're close but maybe you used 2x4 rectangular tubing? Then you also include the wall thickness of the tubing. Like 1/4"?

That's it and it is 1/4" wall thickness.
