    looks fine to me, but I would perhaps suggest making butt plates, and bolting, to allow for adjustment. I was so grateful for them when I was assembling mine

    Add some vertical diagonals too. Diagonals make things rigid.
    If you don't have 100x150 steel tubes already bought then I would advise smaller profile with more thickness. Also you have strange overlapping 100x150 vertical posts in lower part of the frame...

    thanks guys, i will be using butt plates and as for the strange overlapping its because there was beams going across the bottom too but trying to keep cost down while keeping a strong frame, i have changed the frame now using 90x90 profiles 5mm thick. here is the frame.

    cheers
