Made my own from right angle boxes and 20mm steel conduit. Lasted a day. Much better to pay the money and by a spoola - about £35

no problem ,oh and it was strong lasted me over 10 years ,but i didnt use it every day mind ,if you make one drill 20mm holes for the pipe ,she likes a tight fit,

good luck with it

Bit of 20mm galv conduit & stepladder.
Have used in the past a bit of conduit across joists, nails infront & behind to stop conduit rolling & reel hangs between joists.
