I'm not seeing how the 2x4s would attach. Given that product's intended =
use, I would assume there'd be an easy way of securing the legs. But it =
looks like the bracket just rests on loose 2x4s, which the wind would =
topple. Sure I could make a top cap for each 2x4, but that's a rabbit =
hole I don't want to get into especially for $89.=20

I had better luck this morning, found one by Vivere for only $200 =F0=9F=98=
=B3 =20

I could cram 3  2x4s up into a jack stand, and it has cutouts for a =
chain. Hmm.=20
