lol no worries, i figured you were foreign. as for thickness, i would use 3/16ths its what most that you can buy are made off, as for length im not sure, and the size of the tubing is up to you, most use 2x4

I used 2x6 I think 3/16" thickness. They work for me and I believe I cut mine like 52" give or take a couple inches just for a rough idea. Mines 2 door though but I don't think that makes a difference.
