checkerplate corners that you can buy have a section cut out of the middle and welded up i think its to make it fit the corner better
you might have to do something similar

You sure can. Mig is the butchers welder though. Tig is the artisans welder

any mig over about 200 amps can weld ally.

tigs need to be ac/dc to do it.

ally is great fun to weld seeing that the inside of the alluminium will melt before the outer layer, thats what makes it harder to weld.

Thats true to a piont but for most companies that produce large amounts of fabricated aluminium products the TIG is too costly and time consuming. Most will use a Pulse MIG, which is in many circles argued to be better than TIG on ally anyway. I personally don't have one, but I do want one.
