I like this a lot! My hi lift scratched some window tint off, so I'd definitely benefit from a guard.

Those would work well, they are garage shelve units. They are chrome plated and the chrome is well known to flake off, I would sand blast them then paint them.

I thought I was subscribed it this thread. Anyway, I wanna do a similar set up with an old dog crate. That's if I can find one getting thrown away.
