Hey all,
Here's my completed 8X16 deck. I bought the running gear at a local consignment sale with a gravity box on it for $700, but then sold the box off it for $250. The tires were poor car tires, but I had these nice 11l-15 tires sitting here, waiting for a running gear. I'd buy them for 25-45 each at any sale I see them at = $630
I used rough sawn Burr Oak from a local mill. 4X6 main beams, 3X4 crossmembers, and 1.5X8 deck boards = $280.
I used some bulk bin legs cut into 2.75" pieces and used 5" 3/8 carriage bolts to bolt the beams to the crossmembers = $45. I drilled pilot holes and used 40d ring shank nails to nail the deck down = $36.
So, $1000 (not counting several hours labor) and I have a nice flat rack. I'll use it this way all fall and winter, but next spring I'm bolting a steel rack on it for small squares.
