Help Constructing Storage Basket on A-Frame


Hey Guys.

I would like to make a storage basket to fit front of my A-frame for storing wet hoses or a few wood blocks. I have seen some sensational stainless ones on new vans. I have searched on this forum without much luck. Has anyone got any good ideas and possibly pictures ?

Thanks. Skipper....

Hi Skipper and welcome smile

I have seen one on a caravan made out of arc mesh, box like with a hinged arc mesh lockable lid.

This allows the air to get to the hoses and any drips etc to fall onto the ground...

Welcome Skipper, enjoy here and out in the playground. Probably not much help but I wrap the water hose around the two 4.5kg gas bottles on the A frame.

I made a temporary one out of a bread crate - wired it to the A-frame - good for storing hoses - am now looking at making a better looking one using mesh from an old aluminium security door

I had some weldmesh welded to the bottom of the chassis sections, and a steel frame welded to the back to hold things in. I only place my hoses on it, and tie them with an occy strap. It keeps the stinking drain hose and other water hoses out of the way while keeping the mess outside.
