It is actually lighter than comparably sized aluminum tube, until you add the fasteners. This year we welded the frame and saved nearly 20 lbs from not using fasteners. T-nuts and fasteners do add up, both in weight and cost, however.

Yea well our school is not allowing us to use our welder so we cannot use the weld material. So need to get bosch and i want to find out where i can get the fasteners for cheaper. thanks
