Here's the project- an 8x18 tube rack (kicker) hay wagon. Like most, it has two beams running the length of the wagon. On top of those beams are eight stringers, to which the racks are attached. Then there is the wagon deck itself which is something like 1.5x6 planks in good shape. This is an old wagon and unfortunately the stringers are not beefy, they are probably oak 2x4's and are sagging on both the right and left sides. The bottom of the stringers are actually coming close to hitting the tops of the wagon tires when the wagon is loaded. I believe I have a relatively easy and inexpensive solution to shoring up the stringers. That would be getting eight 4"x4" eight foot posts and place them alongside the existing eight 2x4 stringers. Now for the hard part- how would you recommend I attach these 4x4's to the beams? What bugs me a little is that I know these 18ft wagon beds flex a bit as they go over uneven ground.
