Can you do threaded rod like this?

the rods are not the part I see where its braced where the 2x4 looking things are thats where im getting the flex and i dont wanna put wood like that because i feel like it would ruin the effiancy because the box pounds right now

Get some 1" dowels they are super cheap and because they are rounded they don't interfere much

You're right. I'm not sure where I was going with that: LONG day.

Threaded rod or dowels. Not much else you can do bro.

so if I put like 3 strong L brakets and bolt them in that wont be good? or its worth a shot right?

It was meant to be a sarcastic question but I also had a long day. This seems to be pretty counter-productive

Either use some threaded rod or get some dowels. They are both fairly cheap to get and are pretty fool proof

What they're trying to say is, get a couple 1" wooden dowels and bolt them from front to back on the 2x4's you were refering to.
