    Cut it in half and resplice with 3/4 plywood on both sides and thrubolts (4).
    As Knotty mentioned, deflection when loaded can be an issue, brace or shim the center with a board to reduce the "taco" effect.

    How is the stand for stability? Did it seem tippy?

    I have one of these sitting in my back yard. Mike O- that's what I ended up doing- a bungee on both ends of the tarp. As for stability- mine does not have any problems. I have 2 2x4s underneath with a single bolt so I can turn it in-line for portability. I can't remember measurements from the ends, but it's not quite long enough for my Kelty 9 on the diagonal to fit. The stand is just a little too short. I have not used this for over night, but a few times for R&R in the yard.
