    Yes, that was what i was looking for. Have found a dutch supplier, but i have decided to build the frame of steel. I have all the tools to do that and it is a lot cheaper. I have ordered 30x30 steel profiles. Thanks anyway.

    Weld it if you can. It will be cheaper (no expensive brackets screws and nuts and T-slot-aluminium) and more rigid as well.
