DIY bed racks

Im gonna probably go with like 3-4in above the bed, that way I can fit all my crap underneath.

 

Thank you all for the help, I think I got it from here. If yall have anything else you might want to add it would also be appreciated.

 

No, on the camera angle, just the tape measure that you put in your pics.

 

Actually 1” without the head if anyone wants to get really picky

 

Not certain how an angel plays into this, and I’m fairly sure “motherfucker” is typically one word.

 

Or 25mm if Metric, as I posted earlier.

 

I switched my second gen bed rail system to unistrut.

 

I dont think Angels play a part here...angles can definitely screw up measurements on pics

 

Im finally gonna get this project going. Ill tell yall how it goes. The difficult part rn is gonna be finding the “angles.” I have no idea where to find those or what exactly to look for. Since they’re gonna be welded they’re gonna have to be steel right?

 

Good morning everybody!

So I just got a text from my boye saying my RTT came in!!

I just measured the square tubing I have out back and its 1/16th" thick and 1.5" by 1.5". The feel solid, and I know they can hold their own since I use them for this:


Each box is around 50lbs. I also have about 200lbs worth of shirts hanging from single tubes in other racks.

What I still cannot find are some damn 3x3 angles!!

I ordered the T nuts already btw.

In case I cannot find big enough angles by this weekend, what do you guys think about a design like this?


This design basically replicates the 3x3 in angle, but instead uses a flat metal welded to the main tube in the same way that the angle would have been on.
