Lots of ideas available from Googling and looking at commercially made units. Some tubing, wire mesh, and a welder would get the job done.
I have a Rack-it lumber rack I bought used, for which they make a add-on for this. I plan to DIY something similar. The rack provides for the frame and will cut wire mesh to size to fit inside the frame and make some brackets to attach it to the frame.
