You mean something like this? Maybe a bit heavier gage though? ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

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. "Not sure the right term is channel but Pete will straighten me out on proper terms" 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"? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
