Had a pvc pipe rack 2 years ago and it worked pretty darn good until I was removing it in Oct in 20 degree weather and fumbled it. When it hit the groung, it shattered. Got the design from your post. Was thinking of looking at something like that last nite at work and may still go that way. We must think along the same track. Thanks Rick! I will still try the strap because I am curious to see what it does. BUT now it is time for some sleep, just got home after 14 hrs and need to rest a little.
