Is the 26.5" dimension the FULL width between and including the two 40" vertical members or just the width between the two steeply angled 42" down-comers??
Cheers,

All the way across, Mike :-)

Kevin,
Great idea, I built my own using your dimensions. I didn't use the same materials as I was able to "aquire" something similar in steel from my workplace. Just needed to cover with the insulation and away we went. I originaly fitted wheels but thought better of it as I pulled it along my bumpy driveway (too risky)
£6:00 done!Thanks for sharing.
