    Be careful when welding the diagonals where they meet in the centre, don't weld both at same time has you'll be putting a lot of heat in one spot.
    I assumed same might apply to diagonals in the corners, also it was suggested by silyavski to put the diagonals so they were about 1/3 way up the legs and also supported the upper rail at more places than just the centre point so I put them at 45 degrees which spread them across the upper rail but not at the same place as the short upright stubs supporting the linear rails beam.
