Side rails...

[Blaze45]

I saw somewhere where angle was welded to the side rails of a bolt-together frame. Has anyone done this?
Thanks...

[working on it]

For what purpose? to outline and secure the wooden flooring? I considered doing that, but decided that the extra weight added was too much, water and dirt could accumulate in the space between angle and floor, and that the flooring itself (when bolted/tek screwed to the frame) would be strong enough to strengthen the frame itself. And once the upper box was added, much stronger still. Even so, I used steel corner braces all around, and gusseted angle braces away from corners. And PL adhesive to cement the deal!

The addition of the angle was to support the rails...seems like added, unnecessary work to me. From what I have read on the forum, the floor should take care of that. Thanks for the reply.
