I have a 4West catalog that has Con-ferr Safari type racks. The biggest one
listed is 54" X 78", 6" deep, but the price is $259.95.  $560 seems like a
big jump in price for an extra foot and a half...They're located outside
San Bernadino if anyone is interested.  You can look at the rack at
Con-ferrs website-

4West is located near San Bernadino.  The catalog is about a year old, I
don't think the prices could have gone up that much.  Usual disclaimers
apply.  I haven't seen or heard anything about either type of rack (Safari
or Con-ferr).  Seems like something to look into if one is interested in
laying out that kind of green though...
