Tools Required

• torch
• hole punch

Materials Required

• 6 inch heavy (7/16") u-channel - ( 20 ft )
• bolts
• 3”x3”x1/2” (8) (cylinder mounts for both cylinders)

Fabrication Steps

Step 1: Cut pieces

Step 1. Torch or cold-cut channel to size

Cut the following pieces out of the 6 inch heavy (7/16") u-channel steel:

• 2 pieces, 40 3/4"
• 4 pieces, 18"
• 2 pieces, 26"

Cut the following pieces out of 1/4" sheet steel:

• 2 pieces 10”x18” (bent (90 degrees???) 1.5” off the edge the long way)

Step 2: Punch holes

Step 2

• Punch four holes in each of the 26" pieces such that they are 16" apart on the long axis and 4"(?not sure) apart on the short axis. They should form a centred rectangle parallel to each of the 26" pieces.
• Punch four holes in each of the 18" pieces such that they are 16" apart on the long axis and 4"(?not sure) apart on the short axis. They should form a centred rectangle parallel to each of the 18" pieces.
• Punch holes in the edges of 40 3/4" upright pieces at the following locations: 1", 5", (more to follow)

Step 3: Bolt pieces together
