Hello Everyone,

I'm in the early planning stages of building a lumber cart. Throughout my research on carts people have built they all seem to be in the 30"-40" wide range. I was thinking of making mine 48" wide and about 6' long. The reason I want to make it 48" wide is that on one side (the side I want to hold sheets) I want to add a peg board to help maximize space in my garage.

1. Is there any structural consideration I need to think about going this wide, for example additional support in the middle?
2. Is there a reason going this wide is not recommended?

The overall build will be a typical A frame with slots for vertical storing of lumber, flat stock, and sheets.

Thanks for the help!
Steve
