I am planning my battery rack and (to pinch people's ideas) wanted to search the threads to pick out posts with pictures...
I can't see how to do it! Is it possible to search for (e.g.) "Pylon" posts which have a picture attached?
Thanks

The problem is that people link to posts so you are better off searching for multiple terms including image hosts.

Just played around to see if there was an easy way to do this and I can't find one. The best way to find specific words in posts here is to use
after the term in a search engine (works in DuckDuckGo, not sure about others). I tried doing that with the image search option selected and it didn't give any results, though, perhaps because images here aren't hosted on the forum domain, but are on an image hosting site.
If it's any help, the rack I made from 2020 extrusion to hold six US3000C battery packs looks like this (it would be better made from 3030, though):

What do you have in your spare wood pile?
I’m not sure you should admit to buying materials to make a battery rack round these parts.

Who said I was? As it will be hung from the floor joists of the room above (joists about 3 1/2" by 9" from memory) I was thinking of "Dexion"-type stuff.
I have quite a bit of it but it's a lot over-size and a bit rusty, having supported our gas flue pipe from the chimney breast to the ridge in the loft for about 25 years until we had the chimney stack rebuilt, and been left up there ever since. (and it was second-hand from our local scrappie when I got it in the first place.)
I was thinking that I might buy something like

but wouldn't rule out checking our scrappie first.
This has moved on and should probably be in a different forum, but hey-ho!
I'll start again in another one...
(And thanks for people's suggestions about searching.)
