Trailer set up
 

Could not decide how I wanted to go about adding the rack to my trailer. Decided to spend a few extra dollars and go with the unistrut. 6" PVC to hold the rods and reels, and will be mounting a storage box soon.

That looks pretty good! The rod tubes are especially cool.

why perch the PA so high up?

Very cool!!!

good question
 

I actually did this as a temporary set up. I wasn't sure if i wanted to use unistrut for the corsssection on the PA so i use Vinyl post in the mean time. seemed to work for now but you are definitely right, little too high

Looks really good

I've just got my PA14 and assembled a trailer. I'm about to add a top rack using unistrut. In the photo you can see my unistrut base. I bought the unistrut L brackets and fittings. How did you fit your verticals and upper cross beams together? Looks very tidy!

Top rack
 

I actually just cut 45degree angle on either side of unistrut and then bent it into place.. I wasn't sure if it was going to be sturdy enough but it can hold more weight then I'll ever put on it

You mean that is one continuous piece of unistrut that you cut two v-shaped wedges into and then bent into a big upside-down U ?

yes
 

yes that is correct. I should have worded it like that the first time

No worries, it looks awesome. What did you cut the strut with? I've tried a dremel (slow), an abrasive blade on a mitre saw (loud, scary sparks, blade seemed to last one decent cut then dull) so now I'm using a hand hacksaw that is hard work but not as bad as I thought. Any tips for cutting or bending?

Skilsaw
 

Skilsaw using metal cutting blade. Made life so much easier! Throws some sparks but wear eye protection and you will be good to go. As far as bending goes, well I just bent it by hand.. Much easier then it sounds
