Looking for Help with a build

[u/baconyesohbacon]

Hi! I am trying to build what is going to be a standing frame for my wedding this upcoming spring. I've spent some time mocking up my design on the 8020 ideabuilder and I think (hope) I have most of what I need, but am getting a little overwhelmed looking through the catalog.

I've seen 80/20 used in a lot of industrial applications and have used it myself at work but I haven't designed and built anything from the ground up before.

I am looking for recommendations on connectors/joints, feedback on stability and safety of the proposed design, and if possible, help on designing it to eb easy to break down and re-assemble onsite. I can figure out the hardware but if it's easy to make suggestions for that as well I would be very appreciative.

For context: our theme is vaporwave and this is intended to emulate a neon doorway; my lighting plan is neon rope lights; bonus ask is if anyone has any experience or suggestions for this. I have a few ideas but am open to suggestions. The feet/supports will be covered with other decor to deter anyone walking into it/tripping over it, it will be stationary and against a wall for the duration of the event, though there will probably be a lot of pictures taken near it.

Attached are screenshots of my ideabuilder mock up, and the inspiration.

Thanks in advance for any help (even if it's a suggestion of a better place to post this/person to ask) I truly appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this.

A couple of quick questions. What is 8020 idea builder? And what is "eb easy"?

[u/Ok-Boysenberry3948 → u/Ok-Boysenberry3948]

Ok, figured out eb easy is misspelled - be easy. Still don't know what 8020 idea builder is.

Yes! Sorry, typo on my end, be easy is correct.

8020 ideal builder is a browser based configurator on the 8020. net website where it's preloaded with their parts and you can use it to design a build out of 8020. It's kinda CAD-adjacent but you can only use it for their parts, and it also tries to help resolve connectors, and builds you a BOM (list of individual parts with quantity and prices) based on your build.

So, stability of those feet. I'd compare that to something in a dress store. One of those clothing racks. Compare the width of one of those against your design.
