square tubes?

Hi, I've been wondering about the square metal tubes if it is suitable to be used as an alternative to mendelmax frame instead of aluminum profile type?

I couldn't find any hardware store selling aluminum profile type.

It is much easier to mount parts on the aluminum extrusion because they have a groove on the sides. I think they are stronger as well.
Where you from?

I am from the Borneo state of Malaysia, I noticed the other day on mendelmax series build that you don't have to drill anything on the extrusion but just the tapped rectangle plate.

I think I only asked for about 3-4 hardware stores, they never seen anything like extrusion type. Buying online quite the pricey type yet I don't have enough resources to cut those long metals by myself (didn't have garage or space to do it).

There are a number of sellers that are based in Asia. I think Blomker is based in Malaysia.
