[QUOTE="minuteman62-64, post: 434476, member: 15157"] I bedded the joints in 5200 and then pop riveted them together. Since I was working in the bow "V", with limited room, I justified (to myself) the purchase of a HF air operated rivet gun. Turned out to be a great purchase. W/regard to load bearing, the shape is more important than the thickness. I used a structural grade aluminum angle, 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" for almost all of my members. It has held up great - no issues with a 200 lb. person (me) standing in the middle. I think I posted some photos on here a couple of years ago. [/QUOTE]
