Re: 13/14 Pit Design! 3620

There's no diagonal bracing of any kind in your design which means it will sway big time. You could use small diameter aircraft-type cable with turnbuckles to stiffen it up. A single cross piece across the front will sag if it's plastic. Consider making up a truss so that it has more depth. How are you intending to hold the pieces of pipe into the fittings?
