That's a really good point. Maybe we should just use another 2x4 at the base,
running horizontally, fixed?
Just another thought - what if we had a beam not only below, but above,
equidistant from the main beam centreline, and did that? That would totally
leave people open to pulling from below, pushing from above, or do
whutevertheyheck they like!
