One thing you might want to consider is adding some slats of wood over the tubing that makes the bed of the rack. My rack had square tubing 4-5 inches apart and I found it most difficult and uncomfortable to get up on the rack to secure things. I got some 1x3s in treated lumber and ran a 1/3 round router bit over the edges to round them a bit and used hot dipped galvanized carriage bolts to bolt them to the tubing and left 3 inches between each board.
It created a more stable rack and helped distribute any load better as the boards spread the load to adjoining tube supports and it gave me more places to secure my load to.
