    Wow thanks Greeny, The prices look great too!
    Now for the structural engineering bit.

    Should i go for a steel struts or Aluminum struts like:

    Or Others (if you know a better formation).

    I am thinking by going for struts, i can extend to 1500mm and just add more struts and extend the rails.

    No probs :-)
    My preference would be as shown in the picture, with a base of birch plywood(or other material) bolted to the cross members to add extra rigidity and act as a support for spoilboard/piece holding.
    Hopefully some others with more experience (ie nearly everyone here!) will offer their advice.

    Cheers
