+The overall dimensions are 11" long x 8-1/2" wide.
+The solid vertical bars which reach down into the sideplates are 4-1/2" long\\
+and are made of 9/16" square stock which hardware stores don't carry\\
+so I ordered a foot of 9/16" keystock from Amazon for about $5 IIRC.\\
+HD uses 1/4-20 mounting screws so I did the same. Drilled and tapped for them.
+The rest of the rack is made from 16ga ERW steel tubing\\
+plus some 1/8" plate for the gussets and box mounts.\\
+The square frame tubes are 3/4". The round crossbars are 1/2".
