If you can't get it welded, this design should work quite well with rivets. Triangular corner gussets might be a good idea for some of the pieces, rather than just right angle aluminium.
That's pretty much a given when it comes to designing anything, you need to be able to adapt it to the circumstance. I'm sure Rion knows this already. It is the same with electrical layouts (hence why its funny when people complain about electronics placement in CAD).
