How to finish my roll bar??

[num_301]

Hey guy's.
gonna be finishing my roll bar this weekend with some down bars but am unsure of which way to go about it.
either 45 to 0 or just 45 the entire way.
I attatched a dodgey photo so u know what I'm talking about

45 to 0 has a more appealing look about it if that is what your asking.

Yeah looking for looks I think. unless it makes it weaker?

I’d go the 45 triangles are always stronger that’s why you don’t see role cages made of square bracing unless you just want it to look good.

Well I made a decision and started fabricating it on the weekend
Will post up pics when I'm done

The top drawing is better, you can't bend a triangle. top drawing has weak point at the bend. Triangles are the go, even cross on the head board

Looks good. Can I ask why you decided to put all the bars onto it?
