Boat cover frame

[SV Alfresco]

I'm am going to build a frame from rigid electrical conduit (EMT) to cover the boat. I found a place called Kover Klamps that sells clamps and  fittings to build the frame. A complete kit cost about $500 for a boat our size. Anyone have an alternative, or should I go for it.

I made one with 3/4 EMT I have used for 25 years. I have a tubing bender, and at first I used U-bolts but upgraded to Kover Klamps a few years ago.
