wvumtnbkr Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 The offset is interesting. Why wouldn't the top bar be attached to the main hoop? It would give more room too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't love the dead load path it creates, but it would probably take a monster hit to fracture it. Also, the color choice makes me think this is the inside of a big boat.
