Hanging a Solid Wood Door From an Aluminum Gazebo

I have a metal gazebo out on my patio that I believe is made of aluminum. it looks something like this: https://www.samsclub.com/p/royal-hardtop-gaz-2013-patio-set/prod8060207 I would like to hang a decorative wooden door (old vintage door where I've replaced the glass panels with stained glass) from one of the sides. The "beam" going across on the side is 1" thick and hollow. I'm trying to figure the best way to secure anchors to hook the door on to. I am nervous about screwing normal screw hooks from the bottom as the metal is not very thick and I don't think it will able to have enough grab to hold the weight. What I'd like is some kind of hook that hangs down off of the wall but secures by bolts that I would run through the 1" wall. The problem is that I don't know what I'm looking for or what to search for. Can anyone recommend hardware that could use? And FWIW, I'm not concerned about the gazebo being able to hold the door panel over all. It can cary plenty of weight. I'm just trying to figure out how to properly secure it. submitted by /u/RWYAEV [link] [comments]
