I am going to be building a rack on my utility trailer. For now, the rack will be used to carry my kayak and bicycles. But, I plan on getting a rtt to put on it in the future. I want to make the rack adjustable in height, so I can raise and lower it, depending on what I am hauling in the trailer. It won't need any assistance for now, until I get the rtt, but, then I'll add either struts or actuators. Most of the time the trailer hauls just my camping gear in it, but sometimes I haul my dirt bike as well. Hence, the reason why I want it to be adjustable. I have the basic concept down that a smaller tubing fits inside a larger tubing with pins to lock it in position. But what else do I need to do?
Also, I am thinking about making it three or more sections, to get it as low to the trailer to where it's just above my gear, but achieve the height that I need to clear my dirt bike. If I do it in multiple sections, will it be strong enough for the rtt or should I just do it in two sections?
