As the standard rails (and brackets) are made of plastic they're only rated to 30kg so not much room for loading up as I need it to hold my body weight as I'm gonna plane to use it as a shooting platform. I worked out £40 for enough steel box tube from eBay (delivered and cut to the lengths I need) and then need welding and and painting.
