Uni-Strut is great stuff, but EXTREMELY expensive.  We used 1-1/2"
Uni-Strut at work, and IIRC a 10' piece was almost $20.  For comparison, a
10' piece of 1-1/2" angle-iron was about $2.50.   Also, the sporing nuts
are rather large.  The smallest size I've ever seen is 1/4"-20, but most
common is 3/8"-16
