Hey guys,
going to make a drop in a couple weeks and wanted to get a general consensus on how you guys attach your drop-in tower to the ramp.

I have a few ideas:
- just cut the right angle and screw it in (portability issues)
- add like 2 hooks on each side to just connect to a piece of 2x4 on the tower.
- use like fence hinges and screw it into the drop in

what did you guys do?

when i built mine i just made the dropin 3 inches skinnier than the top part and 2x4's holding it up so it fit inside kinda
then i screwed it into the 2x4's then put a 2x4 snug under the drop in against the beams to support it.

its kinda confusing but worked well and was super easy to make and take apart to transport .. ill take some pics sometime and show you if you want

I just screwed mine in with two screws and I will take them out when I need to put the set up away, it works fine with just putting the screws back in through the same holes, I have had no problem.
