A plurality of spaced rails are disposed between each of the first and second rails and the first and second ends of the perimeter rim. An elongated member is operably coupled to the perimeter rim and is proximate to the plurality of spaced rails. A crossbar is disposed proximate to the elongated member. The crossbar defines an opening directly behind the elongated member along a length of the elongated member and a length of the crossbar.
