I'm making a canopy frame out of some 3/4" EMT I got from my old jobsite. The frame needs to be 10'x15' +/- and I bought set-screw couplings to join a 10' piece to a 5' piece for the long run. Unfortunately I need cross-braces, and I didn't see any "T" fittings at home depot when I was there today. I can check an electrical supply house, but is there such a thing as a "T" set-screw fitting? If worse comes to worse I can use these things but I'd rather not pay $6/fitting since that will kind of drive the cost of my white-trash canopy up rather quickly, and I'd feel pretty stupid stretching a $10 tarp over a $100 frame. |
Yup, that was a no go. Guess I'm looking at $6/ea plus shipping. $30 more ain't too bad I don't guess. |
Oh trust me, I've already thought it! I'm just afrain it's not going to hold as well as I'd like. I still haven't worked out what I'm doing for the columns on this thing so it might just come off looking pretty trailer park-ish yet. |
