The frames or stands supplied by Only Dinosaurs are... dreadful. They are made of electrical conduit tube, screwed together. If they have wheels on then they are as stable as Bambi on ice. The joints will come apart because when you assemble them you are very unlikely to screw them together properly. This is not because you don't know how to screw things together, it's because conduit tube is designed to be screwed together using industrial tools, not your bare hands.
As you have probably realised, the frames are pretty much unusable anyway. They are certainly very difficult to transport to other locations.
Is there a better solution? I think so. Here's what I designed and built.
These new frames are easily transportable. The top tube slides into the end frames and is secured with a large R clip. A single chain loops over the top tube and attaches to both of the dinosaur's hanging loops. The frame packs down into a very small size for transport, can be put up by one person as you'll see in this video and is still more stable than the frame supplied with your dinosaur.
