| May 9, 2020 at 22:14 | comment | added | Jamie | This is what I am going to try after comments here. Hopefully this will fly. Worst case I try again after it falls apart. Have 2 x 4's in a framed square on each side for the load. Spanning it the 10 feet I have 4 2x4's on their side (long side up), 2 of them bolted and glued sistered together in the front, one in the middle, one in the back. The back one will have a 2x4 in the center as vertical support. On top of it going to use a 1/4 inch piece of plywood that will be 44" x 10 feet. | |
