    Yea that actually looks pretty good, ive seen some that are just horrible it looked like they just threw square tubing and circ. Pipe all together to make a ugly mess. I was thinking of just making my own with a tube frame and 8th inch sheet to fill in the gaps, prob be heavy as a house but better than paying 1500$$$
