C-Rack Specific Tip
The C-rack's curved arms require careful timber selection. Choose straight, knot-free boards for the arms since knots can create weak points in the curve. Bunnings timber cutting service can handle the straight cuts, but you will need a jigsaw for the curved sections. If you do not own one, Bunnings offers tool hire.
