I ordered my aluminum angle & square tube to start my framing today. I got it at onlinemetals.com. They were about 1/3 the price of Lowes or Home Depot. I started to frame with 2 x 2's & decided to bite the bullet & use the metal. Should be here in 3 days. Question: What type & size rivets should I be using? The angles & tubing are 1 1/4' x 1/8".
 
3/16 pop rivets, with 1/2 inch grip length (can be gotten at Lowes/Home Depot) will be just fine. 2 - 3 per joint will hold quite a bit.
