    You can also skin the frame with sheet material (rather than diagonal beams) for bracing

    Sheet material will do very little for it other than turn it into a Big Drum. It needs proper and substantial bracing to handle the forces a heavy gantry will put on it. If done properly it will also reduce resonance/vibrations.
