Fancy wording for powder coated.

Sorry I didn't read the part about needing them fabricated.

+1 on powder coat.

However, I'm trying to picture that thing standing up on it's own. I find it hard to believe it won't just fall over with a slight breeze.

Wouldn't the base need to be slightly longer if its free standing to prevent tipping?

There are a few shops here in AZ that can do that with CNC benders, try to find a precision machine shop that has a CNC plate bender or a Sheet Metal Fabricator with a heavy duty Metal Brake and a good operator.

yes this point has already been brought up the architect, and was told its on the drawings so that is what it needs to be

Make a sample and test it. If it falls over easily, you need to cover yourself. In Writing. That you told them it wouldn't work and you recommend against it.

there in lies the problem, we do not have brake strong enough to bend .125

Look up a precision machine shop in your area or sheet metal fabricators most of them have heavy duty brakes or cnc benders.

Make it out of .063. Put .125 acrylic on it. That should pretty closely simulate it.

We can give you numbers on this. I agree the design is poor and it will tip over but that can be addressed after you win the bid.

You can buy 2x5x.125 aluminum extrusion and cut it to the size. You need to buy two sticks and bend it on the brake. Than take it to local metal fabricator and they will powder coated for you.
