aluminum swim platform
im wanting to take off my factory fiberglass platform and since i cant swing $3000 for one from Extreme I want to build a aluminum one. I have the tig welder and the ability to build it, i just need some measurements as far as diameter of tubing and space between the platform tubes. thanks for any help guys

Pry could but I want one about 2' deep and built so I can use my existing holes so im not filling them in and drilling a bunch of new ones. Not to mention ...I can buy the aluminum to do it for under $300.

On the ones from Extreme, the main hoop is 2", the guard tube on the back is 1.25", and the support tubes are 1.5".
Pretty sure they are all .120 wall, I know the guard tube is at least. I can't see them being much thicker than that.
...and the tubes that make up the seating/standing area are .75 x 1.5 (I think, can't remember for sure) oval. The long sides of the oval have a recess for putting down no-slip tape.
