You could also U2U Nitram38, I think he's made his 'bones using an elliptical shape...

tons parked outside your local supermarket
round tube and a long press bed, make sure the weld on the tube is at the bottom before you press it
mine came as offcuts from a rather grander project that is now sadly RIP

Hi if it's the STD stuff that most manufacturers use it's technical name is flat sided oval commonly referred to as furniture tubing
.
However if you are after the proper stuff go direct to SPA as they supplie most of it to the others.

Ask an engineering firm to throw some round seamless through the rollers
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

D Beddows has it right.
Ralt sell the proper CDS oval tubing for between £6 and £8 per metre. A fraction of the price that Spa want. They also sell spherical bearing housings
to weld into the ends of the tubes to save you some time.
