    What material to use?

    Need some input. I'm building my sliders and I have a few choices on material for legs. My sliders are 2x3" 1/4 wall, I could use 1" 1/8 wall square, 1 1/4" 3/16 wall or 1.5" 3/16 wall. Also what size flatbar do you all use for the pinch seam. I'll make plates and weld them to my ruff stuff stiffys.
