Re: Tube Versus Channel

If you have a local aluminum supplier, just tell them that you'd like to purchase any 1"x2"x1/8" or 1/16" wall aluminum that they have as scrap. You can cut your costs from about $3.25 per foot to $.40 per foot. Work it year round and you'll have plenty of material come build season.
