If you have a good suppy of pipe, maybe we could work a trade. Factory here that makes boat trailers that throws away lots of rectangular tube. Start building in the center with something like 5x3 11ga then get to 2x2 at the ends.
A rule that is easy figuring in your head - not real accurate but close. If a pound is an inch away from the support. it is a pound. If a pound is 10 inches out from the support, it is 10 pounds. If a pound is 100 inches out, it is equal to 100 pounds. You get the idea. So, that extra weight is critical --way out there.
