Hi,
I am looking for information on the wall thickness for the 1 1/4" square tubes that I am planning to build my rotisserie out of. There seem to be many choices, and I don't want to use stock that is too thin (it will bend) or to thick ($$ steel = weight). I am planning to build rolling base with cage frames that I can add on (see image). Thanks for the help and happy Labor Day  |

1/8” wall should be sufficient
