Good afternoon,

I actually prefer Unistrut for this.  I've built all sorts of useful
things, from shelves. to frames for silk-work, from bridges to outdoor
(geodesic) bath-houses, from wire-tracks through machine racks with it.
Very easy to configure or reconfigure, very solid design, and lots of
people carry the bits, Amazon, McMaster Carr, and unistrut themselves.
<A HREF="unistrut.com"> http://unistrut.com </A> with sales offices all
over the world.  It's a bit heavy, but it's solid, durable,
off-the-shelf, bunch of different materials and easily available.  Need
some tools to assemble, but nothing beyond a DYI ability.

And yes, like "GridBeam" all you need is a good photograph, so you can
count the holes, there is no moop, unless you drop your bolts or the
like, it can collapse down quite flat, depending on your design, and is
designed to be structural, with many different pieces available for
corners, angles, attachments, etc.
