T6061-Aeronautical grade aluminium allows us to extrude larger diameter profiles with optimised wall thickness that allows for the best distribution of load, making it an extremely strong and light framing system. Cross arms: Cross arms or cross members are vital bridging components that keep a gazebo versatile and dynamic by allowing the frame to open and close with minimal contortion. Fluid movement is required for efficient and safe usage of this system which is why we rely on the strength, durability, and lightness of T6061 Aeronautical Grade Aluminium. Our cross arms have reinforced ribs to provide superior stability laterally and diagonally. The strength of these arms is enhanced through greater wall thickness on the load bearing plane.
