yeah, its kinda motoring cause its going on a truck! LOL.

Right, 2.4m wide deck. wanting to fit a "ladder rack" or "H frame" for carrying lengths.
Only really wanting it 1.2m wide (half deck wide) and am wanting to place certain items under it, so am thinking around 1.9m high.

It only needs to be able to carry 300 - 500kg. Trying to work out what size pipe i might need, depth of collar in the deck, and whether to gusset the corners or not!

I was pondering trying a 50mm think wall pipe, with a 50mX50m cross member on top.

all helpful advice and practice experience appreciated!
