I'm not sure what the terminology is for a channel that is formed rather

bent
or formed from a flat strip. An Aluminum channel would work too but would
have to be a bit thicker. I'll be using pieces that are about 1-1/2"
long.
Sure, I could make these in a punch press but I'd certainly rather not,
I'm
fairly sure that the material exists but I just can't find it. Any ideas?


Hey Tom,

have you considered Unistrut?

Available is a small variety of shapes and colours from most plumbing
and all electrical suppliers.

Thats the stuff I was trying to remember!
