This is what I've essentially got in mind. How about what mopar said, think 1" would be sufficient?View attachment 28576

I've built live working bike frames out if 1x1. I see no reason it won't hold a couple gas cans.

I'll be using an 8 ply DOT tire.

Are yall going with the trilobite or another tier.

Yes I would say 1x1x16 ga square would hold up no problem in that style box frame. I was thinking you were building a flat rack style carrier. I still think the expanded is unnecessary but also not hurting anything. Depending on what you use it won't add up to more than a couple pounds.

 

[Dp5hunter]

Is a 6ply not strong enough or is a 6ply not ligal on the road?

I'm thinking a pretty light expanded metal. Does it go by gauge or size measurement? With the basket design, even if securing straps were to break, the can would likely not fall off as it would on a flat rack. It's also stronger, don't you think?

You could probably find a 6-ply that's approved by DOT if that's what you're set on.

What do you think about the trilobite 8ply radial

I kind of agree with tflynn, not a bad idea, but I don't think it's really necessary either if you have a center bar

They look pretty nice. Radials will handle better than a bias on road

What, expanded metal?

 

[Montecresto]

What do you think about the trilobite 8ply radial

Is it DOT approved?

 

[moparornocar]

What, expanded metal?

Yeah. It will be a mud shovel.
