DIY box cover rack

[cooper426]

Hi, i am building a box cover rack from shipping racks i picked up for 5 bucks.
It is perfect for this since it has braces and pre bent frame. You can possibly pick these up at local furniture store or auction place like i did. My plan is to able to pile wood all the way to the top now.
I will post picture when completed with fabric covering in future.

All done, it held by four corner tubes, the frame fits perfect and i can install and remove in 30 seconds. Also notice extra slots, i can install hooks for trimmers or chainsaws....

Nice idea and looks good.
Please report back and let us know how it goes with firewood. I know I can't put that much in mine as it's then too top-heavy, especially on the hills. I'm also curious if your suspension sags to where the stopper hits the bed frame (just above your rear tires).

Loaded it for first time, yes its heavy but i am not bottomed out. I did crank pre- tension on coil springs to max.

I don' t plan on loading this much in the woods. I do make a run from wood shed to house once a week and its only about 125 feet of flat ground, that is the biggest reason i wanted larger loading capacity.
