Pipe stakes

Aluminum will not last long. Forklift drivers will destroy on first load.
I have been seeing a lot of 3 inch round pins on many of the newer professional pipe haulers trailers.

 

Here is what I was talking about. Works good with preventing the pipe stakes from getting in the way... On this box only used two 2x4 pieces in each corner.

 

Has anyone used Unistrut as pipe stakes?

 

I personally wouldn't use it. The unistrut I'm familiar with is 12 gauge thickness (0.109"). For reference, 11 gauge is 1/8" thick (0.125").

 

Gotcha.
I don't actually need pipe stakes for pipe. I was carrying rolled mesh (for reinforcing concrete). It was stacked 3x3 per pallet, and I had 4 total (2 pallet stacked) and it shifted. So I really just want two vertical posts/stakes that I can strap/chain together to keep everything from shifting.
