You can sew on all kinds of useful things - velcro, straps, loops, zippers...

Of course if you make it as a trolley on a 2x4, that would take care of this problem to a large degree. > > Got a pic or diagram of exactly what you mean when you say "bevelled 2x4"? > I'll ping my 3d printing guy and post a picture of that model soon. > > We just have a 10' long 2x4 where I cut a 60" degree bevel along the entire length.
