I have added bolts since to enable me to move it without it coming apart.

Just in case it isn't obvious from the picture, the connection points on this frame are square where the rest of the frame is round. This helped in keeping the shape of the frame for me to test different configurations without having to weld or drill for bolts. The same should work for all round tubes, but will be a little more time intensive to start with. I have other pictures and can provide more information by request if anyone has questions.
