      I got a simple planter stand that I'm redesigning with less support structure.
      Anyone know if there is anything to help test the racking?
      Thanks in advance.

        That would require finite element analysis which SketchUp doesn't do. There are other programs out there that are designed to do that. Might be cheaper just to build a prototype of your revised design and see how it behaves.
