Re: Ladder Rack

If I were you, I would make one out of steel tube, expanded steel, and spray paint.

Re: Ladder Rack

We've got many good ladder racks. Why do you ask?

Just kiddin. Tube steel and a good welder is all you need! If you can't manage to find one around there, I know a very good one here in East Iowa!

Re: Ladder Rack

What about using Unistrut / B-Line struts? Seen a few racks that have withstood a lot of abuse.

You could probably buy one cheaper somewhere, but a strut rack can take a bomb blast before it bends if it's assembled right.
