    You’re good with metal. How can I fix this flexing issue with this painting rig made from slotted angle iron?

    Right. That’s what I was thinking.

    Let me go try it with some ratchet straps and see if it helps.

    I feel like just three flat boards or whatever like this would fix it. But I'm no engineer. Just doesn't have enough structure yet to not flex

    Thats why he has those rods (that should be under tension)
    But really though a sheet of plywood on top would be easy

    You need some braces on the individual pieces, you're using them in their least strong configuration. Use boxed material or thicker angle material

    Yeah but I think they're just able to spin in the holes so they aren't helping

    Too late to return it.

    Should I just build a wooden frame on top of it?

    Those rods aren’t for tension or anything. They’re for hanging objects from.

    I couldn’t find long enough rebar so that was the best best solution.
