    The engineer in my feels these racks need fore-aft triangulation. Otherwise, very nice.

    Should be a simple fix by adding a cross brace to the sides. (triangles > rectangles in the engineering world)

    Looks like a nice set up, man. I'll definitely mimic your design when I get a trailer. Thanks for sharing!

    Too lazy to redraw plans at the moment in a way that's legible, but here it is in all its glory. Held to the wall with 15 screws and already survived a 240 mile round trip on shit roads. So much more room for activities! Before:

    The structural designer in me feels the 14" unbraced bay should be fine My dad (structural engineer) wanted too much $ to stamp the drawings.
