I sprayed the four corners of mine with truck bed liner after a couple of years. They tend to stay in place a little better now, but it wasn’t an issue before.+1 on the PVC Pipe
You can slide some rubber hose over the ends as an alternative to end caps and get a bit more grip. If you are wily, you can set them up to just slide on/off at your desired tire pressure. If you are a couple of psi low you'll feel them grabbing on preflight.
Pretty sure HD doesn’t have 1” but yeah, I’ve done some splice eyes before, it’s funDo you know how to splice rope? This 1/2” works fine for the hangar. Think I’ll pick up some 1” next time I’m at the aviation section of Home Depot.
Glenn,
Stunning paint job, very nice!
Exactly what I did except I used bungee chord instead of poly line to keep the pieces together. Small, inexpensive, light weight and you can paint and personalize them as much or as little as you want.I used some Home Depot aluminum angle, 2ea .125"x1.5" x 1.5 " x 6" and some bright pink braided poly line to keep the pieces connected together.
edit: forgot to mention thickness -- 0.125"
