Larry,

I was thinking of doing this myself. It's a project that is in line behind many other projects. I have Bat-Racks that mount to the flat side of a 3" oval tube. Was thinking of using some Architectural Aluminum Channel 3" x 1".

and put them together... sorta like this

The problem is, the only channel I can find in 1x3 is 1/8" thick. I'm concerned that 1/8 will be too thin.

Then was thinking of:

But it probably won't be strong enough.. especially with wind.

So was thinking of something like this, with an incline plane so it would auto latch:

And some Lanyards to limit range.
Upload
Or maybe some gas-struts

If you endup building something, keep me posted. I'd like to see what you come up with.
