have you considered Unistrut?

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

That'll do! I have some around here somewhere, I just need to remember
what I built....Hmmm.

Oh, so we changed the rules, huh?

12 ga is a fair cry short of the 1/8" thickness you gave as a criterion

That's ok, unistrut is certainly far more widely available and cheaper
if it'll do than a "real" 1/8" rolled channel...
