I did not say bend two pieces, I said make it from two pieces. One piece can be rolled, the other I would cut that piece from a sheet on the band saw, or I would have it laser cut.

I think the aluminum needs to be notched if you use angle, then it needs to be welded, so why not make it exact and then weld it.

Send-cut-send...or, use a different material. Aluminum is not your friend here. Steel angle, heat, cut, roll, weld, whatever. Then clean it up and powder coat it.
