Can the Brackets On the Rack'em Shelf Kit RA-13 Be Moved Up and Down With Wood In Them

Question:

If you build a bed platform out of this can you raise and lower the platform? In order to do that you seems like you would have to be able to raise just one side. Or do the brackets go in first then build the platform and it’s fixed in place and can’t be raised and lowered.

If you were to build a platform on the Rack'em Shelf Kit for Enclosed Trailers part # RA-13 using the included wood beam sockets then you would need to do some disassembly each time you wish to raise and lower the platform. The reason for this is because the wood beam sockets wound need to come down and out at an angle which would not be able to be achieved if there were wood affixing both sides together.

That said, you could run bolts though the wood beam sockets so it would be easy to remove the platform that way you could raise or lower it's height but there will be some disassembly required no matter what.
