Yeah. All built following CAMS guidelines.

Material thickness and grade is CAMS recommended. Arrangement and placement of bars is all listed in CAMS book. Mounting plates are bigger than CAMS required. Should be all sweet.

Only thing Im a bit questionable about is my welds. And the brace between the main loop and the lateral side loops. The book says cannot be placed more that half the member length. And if you measure mine on the INSIDE of the member length, to the INSIDE of the next node, then its a fraction over half way. But if you measure CENTERLINE of the tube to CENTERLINE to CENTERLINE of the main hoop, then its ok. The guidelines dont specify whether they consider total length, or centerline to centerline length. In either case, the difference is like 20mm.
