Do you usually pre-plan everything in excruciating detail?
When we do a project, we can download the specifications sheet and diagrams from many DIY communities such as Instructable. You can also forward your selected design to the manufacturer.
Most sites like Parco have CAD software that can help with designing your structure. When you are finished designing it will give you a 3D model list of the stuff your need. I usually order it in kit form and that saves me time.
I always check the catalogue of the manufactures. They usually have my requirements ready in their product line up. The manufactures design are precise and easy to assemble.
I am Professional CAD designer, and I mostly do custom projects. So we measure the site and commence the product design accordingly. Most of the measurements are custom and vary for each projects.
It’s too much of work to measure everything and order. I Check with companies website, they usually have ready made module that I require, I would order it.
I use T-Slots so that could get my own customized set, for that i have to take and enter all the measurements. It’s time consuming but is worth it.
T-slot is gaining popularity among the DIY communities. For project design and specifications, you can get info from company websites and from forums like this one.
I just send my design with size specifications and I get everything with a quote back to me from the manufacturer and that includes all minor details of profiles, fasteners, accessories etc.
