Forgive me if that isn't the proper term. Oilfield design, and I copied it.

If you want to make it a shooting platform, your fine, go for it.

A lot, we simply call them pipe racks. If they were 12’ long and were racked with 5” heavy weight there would be over 7000 lbs per rack if two racks were used.

I couldn’t give you a number, but it’s quite a bit.

I did a trade and have 100 joints of 2 3/8" and 100 joints of 2 7/8" O.D. I want it off the ground. So the pipe racks are going to be holding pipe. I'll build in some verticals on the ends so the pipe doesn't roll off.

These are 8' long so I can haul them if I need to. I'm afraid I might have to build another pair.

Using it to build with, it's been worth $0.90 a foot for a long time. I know yall aren't going to spend that, but welders do. I'm sure you already know that.

Just cut some caps and welded them on (supplier on the way out was out of them). Can't stand open ended pipe, mostly for that reason.
