Legs

The clutter in the shed precludes the use of traditional builders trestles, these were available from a local supplier (Silverline) and do not use cross-braces. The clever use of a wooden beam allows an extended support beam to be added in order to raise the height. Slackening the bolts holding the legs to the beam allows the legs to be folded for transport in the back of the SUV.
