Evening all,
I'm wanting to install load bars onto my aluminium canopy.
I have all the feet but was wondering where the best place is to get aluminium extrusion for the slats?
is it cheaper and easier to purchase the slats I've seen advertised at front runner?

Re: Load bars for canopy
Anything is cheaper than Front Runner
I think if you are willing to do the leg work you will find something.
You can try the type of businesses that do the light duty conveyor systems like in food plants etc or one of their suppliers, but it might not be necessarily cheaper by much.

Do you just want bars? Get 2 lengths of 50mmx25mm rectangular aluminium tubing.

Re: Load bars for canopy
So this is kinda what I'm looking for.
I thought about using tubing, but strength wise and bolting items into hem could be an issue.
I have searched high and low. Maybe I need to go higher and lower.
