It's made out of 4 PVC rails, each are 1.5 inch diameter. It's 10 feet long, 2 feet high, and 8 inches wide.

And sorry for the low quality pictures but my digital camera broke so I had to use my camera phone.

its too wide, a double bar would have been cool, and it needs to be longer.

ya you are definatly gonna have to weigh that down a wee bit, our box had farely wide spread supports so we could use it in the summer without having to get snow or weights to keep it steady
