    It's all bolt together, from 4 unistruts I used the 1/4 inch unistrut hardware and stainless bolts and nuts. So far I believe I'm under $100

    Do you have a part number or a source for the 7 fasteners that the end bolts crew into? Not even sure what to call them. End sleeves? Can't wait to see the rack mounted.

    Here's a link to the Home Depot page that has everything I used.
    http://m.homedepot.com/s/Unistrut?searchtype=text&NCNI-5
    The corners I used 90* L brackets that are listed in the page.
    There's more materials used in my design but many of them I already had on hand as scraps from other projects. (Side aluminum bars) Only other thing I bought were the red fender washers from eBay. $11 for 20.

    Not hard, just need a second set of hands to lift it on and line it up. Then it just a matter of tightening the 4 clamps.
