    It's made of .032" 5052 Aluminum. I designed and made it myself. Very light weight, self supporting design. I did weld on a few tabs to mount it.

    I plan to limit it to 50# capacity. It's design is for bulky, not heavy items. My plan is for two "bag" style folding chairs, two sleeping bags, tent and other lightweight, backpacking style camping supplies, plus a duffel of clothes.


    54" deep, 24" wide behind the seat, 17" wide at the rear.
