  • Based on 4x4 inch tubing, 1/4" or 1/2" wall depending on strength required
  • Scaling can happen by:
    • Extension of tube members inlength
    • By stacking tube members on top of each other in one direction
    • By stacking tube members on top of each other in two directions
    • By stacking tube members in a space frame configuration by using connector plates.
    • Using thicker wall of tubing
    • May be connected to one another by plates
    • Stacking of connector plates for increasing strength
    • Stacking of pivot joints plates to increase pivot strength
  • Pivot joints are used to couple tubing members
