Strut/channel foot?

Does Superstrut or other strut/channel system make a 90-degree segment that can be used as a foot? This shelf system from Ikea is similar to what I'm trying to do in my lab with my existing collection of strut pieces: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/pr...DER+1+section% 2FL-foot+with+4+shelves Note, I only need the horizontal foot segment (about 12 or 18 inches long) that has a square hole on the top that the vertical strut just drops into. I've got everything else. I'm using 1-5/8 inch (~42 mm) square strut. I've searched Grainger and others but see nothing like this. I'd like to buy off-the-shelf rather than weld one... Thanks. Try Unistrut or B-Line. They both make the type of strut that you are talking about and their downloadable catalogs will give you more choices than you will ever need. McMaster-Carr lists a small selection in their catalog, but may be able to special order annything they don't list. if you are near a major city there are probably distributors of either Unistrut or B-Line nearby. http://www.unistrut.us/ http://www.cooperindustries.com/cont...d_framing.html |
