There is just enough room to squeeze a 4x4 onto the top

A few screws through the cage and 4x4 keep the whole thing tied together

Put my tax deductions to work and they filled the rack in less than an hour

I originally ran the steel roofing lengthwise on my racks, but they sagged in the middle, needed splits on top to keep them from flying away , and collected leaves.

Using a backwards blade in my circular saw, I cut them into sections, long enough to cover the pallets.

Now the water drains quickly and leaves don't collect.

Scrap wood , screwed to the 4x4 beam along the center of the rack , supports each seam.
I no longer have to weight down the steel either .
