    Would you be better with more traditional methods for a wood frame?
    Wood corner braces bonded in place with Cascamite, or even Gorilla Glue might provide more rigid triangulation over a larger area than metal brackets.
    Pinned and glued is almost always superior to metal brackets and bolts and screws with structural wood projects.

    You're right of course, I'll put the frame together first how it's meant to be assembled and then play it by ear if I feel it's not strong enough.
