Yep that looks like a real sweet setup. How are the doors built? Does the whole side open up with a hinge on the front left? What kind of hinges and latches did you use? Thanks too for the link to the tubing... that could come in handy.
Thanks, yes the entire side opens up hinged from the front. The hinges are Stanley non-mortised hinges which close into themselves for surface mounting. The aluminum was not strong enough to hold metal screws as tight as I liked so I drilled through and used one nut and bolt per hinge and it's solid and tight now. The latch is just a storm door latch/pull for up to 1" thickness which obviously works well with 1" tubing. I couldn't find the shape I wanted in black so, as you can see, settled for white with intentions of painting it black at some point. The latch system work very well, better than I expected.
