Rick -
Depending on the spans involved - you might get by with the 1.5" extrusions - or the 1.5x2? They have a "tool" you can download on the webpage. Works pretty cool. Sad thing - they have discontinued their eBay Surplus store. That was always a bargain price. Maybe find some there still from individuals.
BTW - Just ran 1500 pounds over 10 foot span - supported both ends - little difference with 2x2 or 1.5x3 (3" placed vertically). You might find 1.5x3.0 easier to find...Just sayin'.
Tool located here : https://8020.net/deflection-calculator
mikey's write up is a very good start too. Weight savings, ease of construction, etc.
Cheers - Jim
(don't forget to hit "Calculate Deflection" or it just sits there)
When I used to fly Phantoms, I was called an AVIATOR.
Now I race cars. So, am I now called a PAVIATOR?
