So many people have said that to me at one point or another!!
Next time we will make sure that the outside frame doesn't get shifted (more bracing fixed the problem completely) lol. The flat stuff is strong enough, and only in that rare occasion would angled be nessacary. Unfortnatly angled pieces take up a lot of space. we may dimple them for next year though (raise the middle, so it is very slightly concave or convex)
JeeseK good work on the bolt!! The bolt is out of alignment because the two bars connected to it are also bent (just not nearly as badly as the long link
)
