2 inch steel square tubing x 2 for tongue extender
To launch my boat without getting the car wet, I need a tongue extension for my trailer. I looked around and it doesnt seem like anyone has one for a reasonable price. That's why I'm making my own. As a start, I'm ording 2 of these 2×2×72 pieces of steel tubing as the main structural pieces of my extension. It only costs me $56.46 with shipping. I will update with more information about the extension as I have the plans and the parts ready. Ongoing tally: $5293.37. It's getting dangerously close to $5500. Maybe I shouldn't count these none-sailing related parts….
I was wondering if you had calculated the load on your 2×2 tubing and if so how. I’m working on a project and I am trying to figure out how much load I can put on a 2×2x1/4″ x 30″ tubing. I know the answer is out there and I probly need to consult an engineer but I’m trying to get a basic idea.
Thanks
