Step 2Speedrails
I used DenVogel's aluminum bed suggestion and bought Kee-Lite fittings (also not available locally) from Simplified Building Concepts. I couldn't find anything cheaper. You can also try Hollaender speedrails.
I went with 18 L45s (I left one out of the pic) because I wanted the pipes to stick out the ends. Yes, that means twice the price when I could've just bought some elbows but I wanted the look.
I also bought 5 flanges (one extra for the middle), a regular 35 Kee Klamp for the middle, and I have no idea what they are called but 4 tops for the four legs at Home Depot in the electrical section. The three socket cross was extra support for the middle where I am planning to stick a vertical pipe through so my bed won't sag.
BTW, you can't really tell but if you look at the 35 versus the L45s, the Lites do look a lot better than the regulars.

Even with very smooth material (tubes) and fine, smooth rope, a good knot can achieve a not-slipping connection.
