    10 mm corex cut into a ti-agle slit through on one side, to make a 50mm hinge to double side tape to the die cut, and can be folded flat ish when not in use

    If you get stuck for a T section use two small angles back to back with a 6mm gap between you could nut and bolt it threw so its easy to dismantle when transporting. Neil..
