Worked out great for us. Carol got exactly what she was looking for. We welded it up ourselves. Total savings was about 8 grand. I will say, ours is painted not powder coated. I have found that if it is prepared correctly and painted well, it will be forever before it will rust.

Orleans ornamental? I have their catalog of 1000's of profiles. I always sandblast and powder coat vs paint .But if not in direct weather paint will hold up. The key is to not tack the hollow pcs but weld a continuous bead around it so no rain gets inside and rusts from inside out
