Rust Vs Rot?
I'm a big fan of aluminum and even composites in certain situations.
I used angle iron daily 40 years ago while helping install garage door operators. We had a special crimp/pinch cutter with lever arm that I loved to use.
I have fond memories of angle iron as a fast material/tool in the right situation.
Lock washers or Loctite?
Or zip-ties?
