So I know this is basic, but how would I go about building this :
keep in mind I'm just a guy with a garage no equipment on hand. What would I need to do this?
Any help would be much appreciated. If this is the wrong group for this question perhaps you could point me in the right direction?
Thanks Again!
How thick is it? You may be able to bend it by hand, around a form (tree, post...) or in a vice/workmate with a suitable pole ie scaffold etc
But you say you have no equipment to hand, you're going to need a welder unless you can think of an alternate way to fix the cross-member (bolts, lashed with whipping twine & using a bit of angle, perhaps)
As for powdercoat, look up a powder coaters in your phone book or a double glazing (aluminium) coater. Or you could use hammerite etc.
Try posting to rec.crafts.metalwork or something like that

Powder coating is not a home process - it needs a very special piece of equipment, and a very large oven.

You don't need a welder, just need a friend that has one and wants to help. :)
