Right update time on this one. Just rack done. Tuck so long as i ran out of gas saturday so finished off the rest of the welding today. Have parts of the clamps made/ borrowed for the transit :wink:. Have to wait for feet before i cut the clamps to size then its off to powder coating. Have teak ordered for the middle so should have that during the week. Was think bees wax instead of varnish always liked the look and feel of the finish bees wax gives.
Anyway We'll just let pics speak for them selfs




Yer thoughts on it so far ?

total price = 0
Only cost will be wood and powder coating

Ps i copped this from my club forum so if its a bit personal thats why.

[joeyfinneran]

Finished and looking great i might add :)
It only cost me 140 in total :)

Looks great well done!

 

Not so sure the feet are on the strongest part of the roof, but i cant imagine you will be carrying anything heavy anyway!

[joeyfinneran]

Its form over function for me if iv to carry anything heavy ill use the transit or take out passenger seat and put it there
