Tried proposing the thread to a member, but strangely the pics are gone??
can some one from staff help please?

Sai! This is good!

Ok, can u tell us what this aluminium stuff is called individually in the trade? i mean, do they call it 'patti' and 'tracking' or what? Then i can go and ask for it and not have to describle it, which i am so good at that btw, they get totally confused

sorry, looking after a long time.
They are called "U" channel beams. Simplest of terminology. Size you can choose as per your need.

hey nice idea

if you fix those l support brackets from insideit will look good

Sorry, I am unable to see the image something seems sCreWed(even with my attachments).
