Where to buy aluminium tubes & fittings?

[ervine]

Hi guys,

Got a small non-marine related project on hand requiring me to use aluminium tubes to form some sort of a frame.

Basically it's a big square frame approx 2mx2m vertically standing up holding just a piece of cloth inside the square.

I think aluminium can do the job but I need to get proper fittings and pieces cut to proper size (if not file until I die.. haha)... I also need for the stand to be taken apart for easy transportation...

Saw some reefer bros do their MH stands with alum bars before.. so tot if someone could give some advice on where to buy em and how much they cost..

In addition, I want to paint the stand black. I can spray paint but I understand that spray paint will sooner or later chip off.. and I think anodising the alum isn't going to be cheap... got any advice?

Thanks a bunch!!

Good luck and pls let me know if you can find one that provides welding job as well (upgrading my MH stand).
