I've made my own rack and it's about the width you're looking for, you
coul=
d make it narrower by using a different style of rack strip. I made it
from=
two metal tables joined together where the feet would normally touch the g=
round (does that make sense ?). I fitted rack strip inside the frame front
=
& rear and it's approx 550 mm square. One day I'll write it up as a
tutoria=

You can see a couple of pictures here:

If you can't get hold of suitable tables (mine came from a friendly skip,
a=
s did the rack strip) CPC offer square tube & end connectors, feet etc.

make your own.
