Jeff, you should be able to get it locally from the Distributer Micco right over by 696 & Dequinder, I think you guys are working at the Tech Center this year right so it's pretty close.

We have welded it, it works. If the joint is critical we usually bolt through the extrusion instead of using the TNuts since as other people have noted the TNuts can break through the extrusion with enough force, however it will be pretty impressive if you break off a thru-bolted. I think the picture that was bent was a 20x20 on a tether that got pinned into the side of the field pretty hard.
