I don't understand this. The connector provides vertical bending resistance.
The 2" rectangular is much stiffer than the 1-5/8" tube.

Please: I'm OLD! Correct my errors, please.


Maybe not an an error, but an omission, FC's also supply resistance to compression, tension, and twist, and depending on cross section/thickness chosen each of the the four resistances mentioned here vary as needed for the application. Meaning to me, a 3x3 tube might really best all round solution, but seldom seen.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
