I used 1 1/4" black pipe. YOu can buy the pipe at Lowes and they will cut it and thread it for free. Buy it in 10" length as its lot cheaper that way. About $18 a stick. I have a pic in the camera I will try to post later tonight. For EACH stand I cut 4 pieces for the foot and crewed two pieces into a "T". Then I cut two pieces 30 inches tall for the legs and screwed them in the top of the T's. On top of the legs I used a 90 Deg. elbows. Then for the cross piece I used a piece 34". I had good luck on the wheels as my nephew had some 8" wheels I can either attach with some U-bolts made out of "all-thread rod" or weld them. Also by screwing it together I can adjust the width by changing the center cross bar. I made them this way to fit up under the body and be out of the way instead of going all the way across under the rockers. With the wheels the body should be about 40" high. Don't know how they gonna work but I will know next week!! | | |
