family owns a picture framing shop and i got all the machinery to cut my timber...

anyways i have a fair bit of 32mm x 32mm pine stretch bars.

would that be strong enough for a tier rack for 50x70cm tubs single row, 6 rows high?

the timber only costs me $2 a metre if i up the size its $4 a metre which is why i would prefer to go with the 32mm x 32mm.

cheers
 
32x32 is ok for the joiners etc, but the main uprights should be about 3x2" (75x50) go to bunnings mate.

if this is true then ill try with the 32x32 as i got it in the factory already for work. would only take 10mins to have it all cut and joined ready for full assemble.

if it fails i can always try again.
