if you're can't weld mount tabs in, then don't go with sheetmetal unless you like using a lot of hose clamps. zip ties and any other plastic fasteners will eventually cut/break. not recommended to run sheetmetal screws into your tubing either. \
You're better off going with sheet pvc and using zip ties. you can go outside the tubes with large pieces of spend a lot of time trimming to fit pieces to fit in the segments between the tubes. Look up user metalstudman, he had a couple spiderboxes that he paneled, as did others, but the info is in the main build/modification threads for the most part.
