About these tools

Free welding plans and a steel frame calculator: design a carport, BBQ grill, loft table, workbench, gate, fence, greenhouse, stairs and more from square tube and angle.

The planner shows the frame in 3D and gives a tube cut list with miter angles, the number of bars to buy, total weight, paint area and cost, with a PDF you can take to the workshop.
