Lightweight aluminum corner angle is a readily available material. I've seen it in both Menards and Home Depot. If not there any decent metal shop will have it.
If you're not confident with welding thin aluminum there are ways to place splices behind your joints and rivet them on. Use a counterbore and beveled rivets for a clean look.
A bit of epoxy between the spline and angle adds an extra degree of security.
