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

Very easy to configure or reconfigure, very solid design, and lots of

If I recall the construction of Danger-style hinges, there is a small
sleeve area, in the hinge itself. If your measurements are particularly

Since you were having trouble, I put it up for you, with all credits.
You should be able to edit it, copy it around, and pull it into your

I've not had to deal with heavy playa storms as to yet with the

Have you used sketchup at all? It would be interesting to see all the

It would also allow the variations to be more easily seen, I suspect.
