Thanks for the info , I've been to both Unistrut and garage door suppliers today and I think I will go with the garage door track, specifically the track from B & D garage doors which has a back strengthener in the track and the rollers are 2 mm bigger in diameter.
The unistrut works out about $100 dearer as well, and the track has more play when the rollers are fitted.
As soon as our temps drop below 30 C for a week I'll start the concreting.
Thanks for the advice folks, and I may still change my mind if I can find any free stuff
Cheers
