Old bed rails make ideal supports, just grind off the rivets and you have
lightweight but durable angle iron for use as the skeleton, usually free of charge
(I used to find them by trash cans all the time in Chicago). Sheet metal to cover
it can be gotten from heating and AC shops when they cut off parts of fulllength
ducts or when they gut old systems and bring the old ducts back. Hoods of cars that
are nearly flat are also good for sheetmetal, and cheap.

Metal can be found very cheaply at the big home stores. Also, look
around! Scrap yards, flea markets, etc. You can find many sources for
the raw materials for the framework.
