They do make light gauge angle steel. They use it for mounting batteries in the A-frame. Not sure where to get it. Our local steel supplier had no sources. It looks like around 14 +/- gauge. I have some I cut out of a previous TT and it's fairly light. Could always take flat sheet steel and get a metal shop to bend it plus you could make the leg dimensions custom sized as needed. Could also get U or Z shaped pieces made up. Regular 1/8" angle steel is a bit heavy but if you were to calculate the total weight you'd need, may not be much of a factor. Nice thing about steel is that you can weld it if needed while aluminum can cost a fair bit more. I'd hate to see how much stainless would cost!
