We have used aluminum strut. It has minimal torsional stability as
compared to steel.<br><br>

Mick says: Have you considered using strut channel made of aluminum?
...or stainless steel?
<a href="http://www.mcmaster.com/" eudora="autourl">www.mcmaster.com</a>
has both of these, but the aluminum is mill finish, not clear anodized. <br><br>
With steel strut, no matter how good the finish is, if you cut it you'll have unprotected steel on the cut edge. Spray galvanizing in a can, anyone? <br><br>
