Looks great!
Pats on the back to whoever knows what these poles are for.
Giant Mikado, clearly

for horses!
took me a while, but the hint was them being on a UK instance
Correct. Show jumping poles.
I'm not from UK though.
Neat result in practice!
weird javelins collection though
I forgot to take pictures of how I attached the top ends of the vertical studs to the wall. I didn't want to drill holes into the container, so I used the existing tie-down points. I bent some threaded rod into a U-shape, slipped it through the tie-down loop, and tightened the 2x4 to it with washers and wing nuts.
They look like goundwork poles for equestrian events
I want to believe they are giant versions of those tubes from the 90s that go "eewoooowooowoweeooooooowoo" when you tip them over.
excuse me, but, what the fuck‽‽

Apparently they are called "Groan Tubes"?
Yoooo Groan tubes are awesome!!! Never knew the name thankies!!
I got a bit excited, because I have a 40ft with the exact same set up but with steel. To store round bar stock, pipe, square tube etc for metal work. It even had an over head crane to move stock in and out. It was awesome until some fuck decided to back an excavator into the front doors and sides. Mangled the whole thing to shit.

condolences. that sucks.
What software is that? Can't tell if it's 3D modeling or CAD
Sketchup
So it’s neither 3D modeling or cad!
it's amazing to me that decades after it came onto the scene, sketchup exports even worse geometry.
I always pity the 'but we've modeled everything in sketchup so it should be quick to get working in a realtime env' folk.
Jousting?
