New screen rack
Gilligan:
I'm THAT cheap. ;)
I need to find them used... I just don't ever take them time to look... I really need to utilize that "let me find that for you" site or whatever it was. I tried craigwatch, that just sucked balls.
As far as coating strips... polyken would fix that up real quick. :)

I need another screen rack and not about to pay what they want for the aluminum ones you can buy.

Dude, I have had wood "rails" made out of 2x2's for YEARS I have never poped a screen on them due to a splinter ect. Think someone on here mentioned using like 2" PVC pipe that also sounds like a good idea.

I picked up a couple of aluminum baker racks which came with aluminum bars for width that were too narrow. I just got a couple sticks of boxed aluminum and set the width for newmans. I paid a little more since mine were not used, but still a good price.
