Who had the best price on extruded aluminum currently

I have an unassembled Elos stand to build

And I do not think that it will not rack at some point in the future

I had bought some 8020 just to reinforce it

But now want the aluminum to carry all the weight, and the white melamine to just bolt to it for decoration

I have built some shop fan filters from the 8020, and it is not strong enough to hold the weight itself

TNuts appears to me, so far. Ebay used to have seconds of 8020 for a steal, but I can't find those any more

TIA

I would just have AlumaFab build it

But the tolerances of dimensions of inside the existing stand structure...

I just don't see that working out for the build

I may just use hinges for the melamine like this

This looks nice

And just have AluFab built it. I do not want to be drilling anchor holes. And they do that already
