Used some 80/20 for my recent canopy lift. Website can be cumbersome to navigate. Make a basic sketch of your design, carouse the catalog connectors and bracing. It is very solid and strong if you need something of lighter weight go for the lite version(will certainly save weight but is more costly) tech support was able to guide me through the navigation and screw and fastener selection. Once I got through that catalog is easier, just big. Keep us updated on the progress
