new to welding, what to use for this project?

I haven't welded, but I'm very handy. I need to weld pieces of angle iron (steel/iron bed frames) into a 3-D arbor that can hold some heavy plant growth.

I don't have any other projects, or need to weld anything else- just a bunch of these bed frames. Since they will be outside, I don't need the welds to be pretty, just functional. I'd like to find out what the most cost-effective welding options would be.

I don't have a 220 outlet, and I don't have any high-amp circuits, so I'm assuming I need to either go with gas, or wire up a new circuit first?

Has anyone used the 115 Volt Spot Welder from Harbor Freight- would it be sufficient for a project like this?

Thanks!

Keith
