Looks like it's not supported length wise enought. You should put some cross beams in for extra sturdyness.

if you screw it and wood glue it, it will be solid as a rock, i built a box out of 2x4 ribs, and linked them together with 1x3 straping, and after i sided it, it was rediculusly stable, and light, the siding will make it indesturctableish
