Abstract
The present invention discloses a first embodiment having a straight line apparatus consisting of tubular channels that pass through risers that elevate the channels off the ground. The end risers provide a port on one distal end that allows the user to attach other succeeding lengths of channel to the main structure via couplers that are inserted into the end port . The second embodiment provides a curved apparatus, consisting of main tubular channels that pass through main risers that elevate the channels off the ground. The main end risers of the main structure provide ports on one distal end to allow the user to attach other units, via main couplers , to expand the apparatus to a larger size. The side channels and risers can be removed and snapped together in a stacked fashion for easy storage and transportation of the device. Main end caps are also provided and are attached to the main end riser port when additional stations are not in use.
