Glad you mentioned it was stainless steel, I have a MIG welder, but stainless steel is a whole different story. Difficult to weld, and the welding wire is 3 times more expensive then steel. I helped another neighbor, and we replaced all of the broken welds with pop rivets, we were also looking at using stainless steels screws, but pop rivets were easier. You might want to consider these alternatives. Also, if you go with either of these alternatives, you may need cobalt drill bits for the stainless steel. Some conventional drill bits will not drill stainless steel.
Hope this helps.
