We have access to 5 mills (and 2 NC's) and go with 30x30 still. I was pretty sure they still made connecting hardware for 20x20. Anyway, we make out own conecting pieces (out of 1/4" plate BTW) because the Bosch ones are just too expensive. We use all right angles and have no problem. We could do a custom angle if we wanted though, we would just need new connector plates of have it welded. However, we broke a steel wels, I don't think we'll try our luck at aluminum (the weld was good but the force on it was much)
