Simplicity is good. You could also add caster wheels to make it mobile.

May add casters for sure

instead of those two metal bars, I would still use wood. you can do a simple corner piece and still have it in line, and not off to the side.

if they get bumped when full, it could collapse, but otherwise, great idea!

(I build these, but to keep 300+ Pound outboards on... thus the reference to use wood since it will not bend like that thin metal for the brace, think of it like a soda can when full, as long as it's straight, you can stand on it, tap the side and it collapses instantly...)

We are looking to address that area... concerned myself about buckling Thanks for your input

it looks good tho,

this is how I support my corners. I use wood glue, and a few screws. I have never had one fail yet. I have had a 2 x 4 break however, so i use a steel plate on that part of the wood now, stupid v6 2 stroke....

Used 2x4s to support the weight.. now it's good
